Clarkson's Farm star calls 999 after 'unbelievable' sighting during heatwave
He's taken to social media to raise awareness
A star from the Clarkson's Farm series has called out people who set off Chinese lanterns in the Cotswolds countryside in the middle of a heatwave. Farming contractor Kaleb Cooper made an emergency call yesterday after seeing the lanterns, which fire services warn are a wildfire danger.
Kaleb, who has become somewhat of a household name since starring in the documentary series alongside Jeremy Clarkson, sought to raise awareness on social media on Saturday (July 12).
In an Instagram post captioned "what is going on in the world" the Oxfordshire local shared a video message. The video didn't show much more than a darkened outline but featured Kaleb talking straight to camera, stating: "I can't quite believe what I'm seeing at the moment
I've just called this in to 999 but someone has felt the need to light two Chinese lanterns in and around the Chipping Norton area. They are currently floating over the area. I'm looking at both of them as we speak right now.
But what goes through someone's mind when they decide to light two Chinese lanterns in the middle of a heatwave. We've hardly had any rain since March. Jesus, honestly. What's going on with the world."
Taking to the comments section, some of his 2.9 million followers were quick to share in his concerns. One said: "People need educating mate. Spread the message."
Another commented: "Well said Kaleb, this could quite easily start a wild fire."
A third wrote: "Some people really don't have a clue. The farmer's field next to mine is that dry I can literally put my whole hand down the cracks of the soil."
While a fourth added: "They should never do this for any celebration. They let some of these off for a wedding near me. They set fire to someone's house and barn when they landed. Plus livestock can ingest them when they land. It's like balloon releases. It's littering, pure and simple. Should be banned."
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service has advice and guidance around sky lanterns on its website. In it, the service says: "Sky lanterns are a beautiful sight - but the potential damage they can cause is significant.
They use the heat of a naked flame to float. They're not only a fire hazard but also a danger to livestock, agriculture, camping activities, thatched properties and hazardous material sites.
"Whilst ignition and launch are mostly in the control of the user, the actual flight path and end destination are not. There's no guarantee the fuel cell will be completely out and cooled when the lantern lands, so any contact with a flammable surface could start a fire.
"There's evidence of them causing fires, wasting police time, being mistaken for distress flares, misleading aircraft and killing livestock."
