Hey Paul,
I recall we all went through this fire ban topic some time ago and the conclusion then was that in WA the following applies:
Total Fire Ban Rules
Each state has their own specific rules for Total Fire Ban days. Please
check with the local authorities you are travelling & camping in to make certain what Total Fire Ban rules apply to you.
If in doubt it is best not to light a fire in the open during a Total Fire Ban. This includes incinerators & barbecues which burn solid fuel, e.g. wood or charcoal, however in some states gas & electric barbecues may be used if.....
it is on a residential property within 20m of the house or dwelling
if it is a
picnic area and the appliance is approved by council, National Park or
State Forest
it is under the direct control of an adult
the ground within 2m of the barbecue is cleared of all materials which could burn
you have an immediate and continuous supply of water available.
We like to be different to the rest of the world!
