Civil Defense Addresses New Year's Eve Bonfires
Dunedin (Wednesday, 11 November) - With the ashes of all Guy Fawkes night bonfires thoroughly doused, Civil Defence and Rural Fires have turned their thoughts to the next round of bonfire applications.
Permits will be
issued for the night of New Year's Eve only and are subject
to a prior safety inspection. A rural fire officer will look
at the fire’s location and size, whether it will pose a
risk to anyone else and the applicant’s safety plans
should the fire become dangerous.
Civil Defence and
Rural Fires Manager, Neil Brown, says, “We have a very
good record in the Dunedin area and we’ve only rarely had
to respond to a bonfire. We think this is because people
have talked to us first and understand clearly what to do
and how to be safe.”
Civil Defence and Rural Fires
are accepting applications for New Year’s Eve bonfires
until Friday, 11 December 2009. To make an application,
contact the DCC on 477
4000.
