The fire season is upon us and we need to keep our houses, and therefor our island safe.It is time to make sure that the area around your house is reasonably clear of flammable materials. We have had lively growth over winter and spring, and some of it will need to be removed. If you wish to burn a small pile, you will need a current Hazard Reduction Certificate from Warringah/Pittwater Fire Control. Please call at the fire station, fill out the form, and we will fax it for you. When you have received that, you will need a Permit to Burn, issued by either myself (Captain), or Tim Byrne (Sen. Dept Captain. All sites will be inspected before the permit is issued.
During periods of summer heat, keep gutters clear as well. Be vigilant at all times, and report any fire activity to '000' and the fire station on 99994404. This is your home.
ENJOY THE SUMMER!
