Better still - for those that don't get permits and something goes astray - what is done about it or what follow up occurs - little if any I suggest. We respond and extinguish the fire and maybe investigate the fire (although often the person burning off admits to what happened) and then what?
Its hard enough to get the Police to pursue a fire in the Fire Danger Season, where a breach of the
CFAct has occured - I'm sure they will be less interested now, that is of course if you are lucky enough to have a Police patrol attend!
Mmmmmm - this stinks of more legislation, by-laws and alike that won't get policed either!
There is no easy solution - prohibit it and we have a greater long term problem, more fuel. Regulate it better and those that don't follow the regulations will get what?
Educate those burning - sound practical solution - but who will educate them?
This isn't only an urban interface problem either - this occurs state wide!
