ABSTRACT

One evening, Henry lights a bonfire in his garden in order to burn some garden rubbish. The smoke and smell from the bonfire annoy his neighbours who are watching television with the windows open, and sparks from the fire damage some clothing that one of his neighbours has hung out in his garden to dry. The smoke from the bonfire drifts onto the road and is so thick that it obstructs the vision of a passing motorist who as a result runs into a lamp post. Henry goes indoors to listen to the radio, and some time later the bonfire spreads to his neighbour’s property and destroys a garden shed.
