Hi Rsd,

This rule is correct. What this means is that small fires like a bin fire, are allowed with no firefighters available/on-duty as long as the fire remains contained (does not spread).

We feel this would allow for a better feel if some fires were there and remained as is, without firefighter intervention, this results in some IC discussion, hopefully about getting more firefighters to help put out fires which are unattended. The fact of it being "small and remains contained", means that it should not cause issues if it's left to burn on it's own.

Larger fires, however such as buildings, sheds, or people within them, must have firefighters available and on duty.

There should be no harm come from allowing small fires. But happy to hear your input on this.

thanks PSI - well i might amend bit more (dropping the requirment for 1 firefighter be present) and adding 60 minute burn out timer

so if fire is left unattended and no firefighters present - its should be have timer to auto burn out so up 60 minutes then auto burns out as long there is no other child fires present
