Morons leave unattended fires burning at Davies Plain Hut on Wednesday

Hi all,

It is with some significant disappointment and anger that we arrived at Davies Plain Hut on Wednesday last week (13/4) to find two fires still going in fire pits outside the hut - one burning and one smouldering well.

Then with absolute awe at the stupidity of others we found the fire in the fireplace in the hut still going as well. These people are prize idiots.

Many of you need not be reminded of the potential for disaster even at this time of year. Apparently some idiots need reminding.

THE FIRE IS NOT OUT UNTIL IT IS COLD TO TOUCH. ALL CAMPFIRES MUST BE EXTINGUISHED WHEN UNATTENDED (be that for a few hours or if you are moving on.)

Huts are made of timber as a rule and many have been lost as a result of careless campers. A bushfire starting as a result of these campfires would have put my group and probably those who lit them at significant risk.

While not suggesting that they were responsible for any or all of the fires the names of the visitors who signed the book as having stayed there the night before were:
Jake Creamer
A. Ladd
Martin & Fleur Heiner
If you know them pass on the message. Even if the fires they left were not their own they should still have put them out.

The other likely contenders if not the same people are the two long wheelbase LR Defenders we passed as they approached Tom Groggin coming from DP Hut. One was yellow the other white.

Put them out people. There may be no where to stay next time if you don't cos the greenies don't want them rebuilt if they disappear.

I'll get off my soap box now.

Dave
