Ban the sale of disposable BBQs during periods of high wildfire risk

Background

We want to ban businesses from continuing to sell disposable BBQ equipment to the public while the business is located in an area with a high wildfire risk. At present, businesses sell these to consumers despite the real risk they can pose of starting wildfires when used irresponsibly.

Additional details

Disposable BBQs, when used irresponsibly, can cause wildfires during periods of low rainfall. Even though fire services across the country issue wildfire risk warnings of High or even Extreme, these BBQs continue to be sold, and they can spark avoidable wildfires. If a business is located in an area designated as high wildfire risk, they should be prevented from selling them until the risk has passed.
