People are reminded that we are now in the Fire Permit Season.
It is required by law that all fires, excluding cooking fires, must have a Permit. The person issued with the permit must notify all adjoining neighbours 24 hours before lighting up. The law states that lighting a fire without a permit can incur a fine of $550 and failing to notify neighbours also has a fine of $550.
