I can't imagine anything like that being available to the general public
in the UK.  

Perhaps you would be given a licence to use it after you had been on a
series of Elfin Safety courses followed by a weeks training on how to
fill in the appropriate forms.  You would, of course, have to notify
every fire brigade for 25 km around the work area in writing, in
triplicate, at least 6 weeks beforehand, and send proof of insurance to
the nearest police station (which could be up to 50 miles away, as most
of them have closed now).

You would have to cease activites immediately if instructed to do so by
a police officer in or out of uniform, any official of the local council
(including the dog warden)or a minister of religion as long as he was
wearing the robes of his office.

Your name would be added to a register of 'intertesting persons' and
held there for 25 years.  It could be removed earlier in the event of
your death - but ony if you notify the authorities in person at least 10
working days after the event.

England. land of the free!
