Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is asking the public to think twice about using disposable BBQs this holiday.

A Newfoundland dog named Stanley was the surprise winner of a Weber barbeque.

Stanley’s owner Lucy Wakefield, who runs Barking Mad Home Hosting for Dogs, entered Stanley – who has his own Facebook account - into a social media giveaway.
