ah yes, light the wood fired grill, hear the fire station siren go off. The neighbour over the back fence has called the fire brigade out of spite. In his old age he objects to anyone or anything restricting his enjoyment of life. No child, dog, car or fire may impede on his life of ease and pleasure. He has petitioned to the authorities that such things as fires dogs and cars are dangerous and must be regulated against for the betterment of mankind. To light the grill a visit (at your cost) by the environmental proteciton officer is required. If by any chance you actually are allowed to light your woodfire you must adhere to certain regulations - you cannot light the fire if your neighbour's laundry is outside drying, you cannot have a lit fire for more than 2 hours, you cannot have a lit fire after dark, if any of your neighbours object at anytime the fire permit is revoked. You may only light a fire when the fire risk is designated as low. unfortunately the only time the fire risk is low is when its raining or snowing. Welcome to New Zealand, the land of eco-tourism open green spaces and over regulation.
