]]> Restricted Burning http://darlingtonfire.org.au/restricted-burning/ Sat, 09 May 2015 23:46:39 +0000 http://203.98.95.132/~stoneville/?p=7 We are currently in the Autumn 2015 restricted burning period. This means that if you want to conduct any burning (other than small piles after 6pm) you will need a permit from your local Brigade. The Stoneville Brigade is open between 9:30 – 11:00am each Saturday.

If you have a valid permit you must adhere to the conditions imposed.

We have been called out to a number of fires in the last few weeks that have been reignitions of permitted burns. The weather is still dry and warm and fires can spread easily.

Make sure every fire is OUT before leaving it unattended.

Thanks

Ian Zlatnik (Captain)
