We are doing front row every Wednesday for four Wednesdays in August, and so therefore I'm hot-footing it from here to carry on preparation for tonight's show.
Is there any programme that's not talked about the eclipse?
Hello, it's Kirsty on the newscast stage.
I mean, I think there's two things.
I think people can look after themselves better, make sure that people have water, make sure you've all got water on you and so forth.
But actually, as was with the case last year in a huge fire in Glen Rosa and Arran, it started in the heat, albeit, but it just takes a single piece of broken glass to be put down, dropped.
It's about people's behaviours.
It's about people making sure they don't leave
things like that are behind and also people should always have a water if you're lucky enough to have a garden have a water butt save your water we waste water all the time but actually our fire services would probably if there was a widespread I don't know what's happening in England with this would probably need the army to help eventually as well
in Europe that's exactly so in Europe you've got I'm sure many many of you have seen this but if you have reservoirs what you do is you have helicopters will go down and they'll scoop up masses of water and they'll carry it into the forests well we've got plenty of water in Scotland but we don't have the capacity necessarily to lift it to the degree that we need in order to spread it to dampen down fires but it's also smoke as well I mean smoke is every bit as dangerous in a way as fire
can
information campaigns all the time.
You have to think about this.
The other thing that should be banned straight away, and maybe I'm behind the curve, is these silver mobile barbecues.
They should just never, ever be sold anywhere.
Maybe that's
Yeah, but there might not be a fire that covers 500 square miles.
I mean, I know it's really awful if people want to have a barbecue and can't, but right now it's not a priority.
Sorry, if you're thinking of having one... I'm trying
I tell you something, we won't use the barbecue.
