This is the only exit from a large forest in Ipswich at TM 187 407 GB

At its narrowest it is only 2 feet wide and a Fireman would have to
turn sideways to get through it. On a good day 1000 people will be in
the wood and this is the only escape if there is a bush or forest
fire. Today I saw a twin baby buggy get jammed in it so you can
imagine the panic if a wheelchair got jammed when many folk were
trying to escape. Do you think it is acceptable?

1) Forest fires are relatively rare in Britain - around 100 ha per annum -
and are more likely to affect heathland than mature forest.

It's also rare that Radar locks are stolen, but 6 have gone missing from
the same park Turtill is now worried that a forest fire may happen.
