Ash + Compost = Fire

As of Sunday night we no longer have a compost bin. This is thanks to our resident fire bug (aka Tom) emptying the remaining ashes from our BBQ into the plastic compost bin filled with dead branches, dries grass etc.
This is the 3rd time we have had an incident involving ashes & plastic & smoke. In reply to the question will he ever learn his lesson, his defense was "This is the first time I've actually created a fire". Luckily the only victims of this incident were the compost bin, 3 panes of glass in the greenhouse & my beloved cucumber plant.

One does wonder though how he manages in his job as a Process & SAFETY engineer!
