Cooking eggs over a burning tire on driveway of home frowned upon by police

A new cooking innovation has been described as “bizarre” and “dangerous” by police in Australia after a group of residents in Moulden, Northern Territory, were caught cooking eggs over a burning tire on their driveway. Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said police and firefighters were called to the residence after neighbors reported a “burning smell” and “heavy smoke” coming from the property in Bonson Tce at around 3pm on Sunday.
“(The) Fire Brigade attended and determined that there was a burning tire in the driveway and the residents were trying to cook eggs over it,” Supt Jorgensen said. “The firies went there and bizarrely people were trying to barbecue over a burning tire. If you’ve ever seen a tire on fire you’d know it’s quite a blaze.
“It was bizarre behavior.” Supt Jorgensen said the group were not charged with any offenses. “Apart from the fact that it is unlawful to light fires in urban areas it surely must be recognized that burning rubber is not an appropriate heat source for cooking,” she said. “Or for positive neighborly relations. And it’s dangerous.”
