Complainant · a member of the household

You are hereby notified that the above-named Respondent has been found, upon evidence gathered over a period of considerable patience, to be in breach of the following provisions:

  1. § 30.8a
    Drift of combustion products. Directing smoke, by inaction, over a neighbouring boundary.
  2. § 30.8b
    Timing against laundry. Lighting within nine minutes of a neighbour hanging washing outdoors.
  3. § 30.8c
    Combustion of unsuitable material. Introducing treated timber, plastic or a mattress to a garden fire.
  4. § 30.8d
    The damp pile. Burning material of such moisture that smoke is the principal output.
  5. § 30.8e
    Unattended burning. Leaving a fire to its own judgement while attending to something indoors.

It is therefore ordered that the Respondent check the wind and the neighbouring washing line before striking a match, effective immediately. You are advised that continued conduct of this nature will be escalated. Compliance will be monitored. There is no appeals process, and there is no one to appeal to.
