Good Guys dismantle potential 30ft high bonfire!

 
30 ft Danger Stack
 
 
Caption: Potentially dangerous bonfire removed as part of Good Guy campaign
 
 
A 30 ft high stack of timber has been discovered and dismatled as part of the 'Be the Good Guy' campaign - which aims to remove dangerous flammable materials in the run-up to bonfire night.
 
The potential bonfire was discovered by Special Constables on foot patrol in Newton-le-Willows and removed by St.Helens Council staff as part of the Good Guy drive.
 
Emergengy crews have warned that street bonfires can be dangerous and unpredictable and can easily spread to nearby fences, buildings and homes.  Local businesses have also been contacted with a view to securing flammable materials so they do not become available to people wanting items to burn.
 
Local community safety partner agencies are pushing the message - 'bin it, don't burn it' and are encouraging residents to attend organised bonfires and to report the build-up of street combustible waste to St.Helens Council on 01744 676789.
 
 
You can also vote for the campaign in the National Home Office 2012 Tilley Awards. The award highlights crime-fighting projects, and the Good Guy initiative has been shortlisted.
 
Time is running out - just like X Factor, the winner will be the one who attracts the most votes. Just log on to:
