Meg from Te Kowhai

And has anyone seen the huge pile of rubbish that has been dumped under the overpass on Onion Rd this morning? Maybe a 'fingers' from our mates, the Boy Racers following on from our increasingly irate comments about their antisocial behaviour.

A restricted fire season will be introduced for rural areas of the Waikato district from 20 January, 2017.

Restrictions already exist within urban areas and areas managed by the Department of Conservation.

A restricted fire season requires permits to be obtained from Waikato District Council for all fires in the open air with the exception of barbecues, hangis, outdoor fire places with chimneys, pizza ovens, brazier type fires and fires within a properly constructed incinerator fitted with a lid or mesh spark arrestor to stop embers escaping.

Applications for permits can be made by contacting any of the Waikato District Council offices or via Council’s website.

Suppression and other costs may be borne by the person responsible for lighting a fire or the landowner, adding further incentives for people to take the lighting of fires seriously.

If people see a fire they believe is either out of control or in a place where there is risk of it spreading they should call 111 immediately with as much information as to the location as is possible.

Further information on fire weather danger is available from www.nrfa.org.nz....
