Safety Tip – Be safe.

Check fireplaces, clean chimneys, use the 1-meter rule when using log burners.

Go to the Check it’s alright web site to see if you can light a fire, most fires in this area need a permit.

We have had a few members who have left recently and are looking for some new members to join the brigade, who would be available day time.
