Today at work

Different policy maybe? We had them out several years ago after getting reported. They told father if he did it again we would be invoiced. I now just call ahead. Never had them phone me to check though.

Do you ring your local Fire Station or the County HQ ?

We ring our local station.

What has this country come too where you have to call before you burn a load of brash

Not the local station. In Scotland there is a bit on the website and it gives you a number to call for your area. I would imagine it’s where the emergency call are handled for the area.

we had a engine turn up years ago, someone had spotted the fire from the nearby town
fair enough from where they seen it it could have been a shed
the lads were tidy enough about it once they seen it was a bonfire and said ring through next time
there biggest issue was the waste of resourses for them traveling down
when obviously there could have been a life or death situation

we ring through now and leave a number then call when its out

I think the retained ones get call out fees (but I could be wrong) so I expect they wouldn’t mind a false call at all

Moist here again. That field is filling up

This one is already full.

The waterboard (or whatever it is that in charge of them) do not know how ditches work do they.

@Steevo get your orders in now

They also own the field and want it to flood. Doesn't stay long, a local town half drains into that steam the level of which is normally 1.5 m lower than this but we had a lot of rain this morning.

ah alright fair enough then. We have the same thing alongside rivers.

Thankfully we didn’t get as much rain as some of you in the southeast. In fact I was thinking that there are worse ways to spend a Sunday morning:

After a couple of hefty showers I was hoping for the odd pot of gold:

Could do with some cold weather to bring these little buggers under control:
