DANGER OF FIRE
Marlborough And Nelson After frequent light rain, the fire hazard throughout the Nelson-Marlborough area is moderate, according to a report by the New Zealand Forest Service's senior ranger in the area (Mr A. T. Swale). “In fact, conditions have been easier, at this time of the year, than for many years,” Mr Swale said.
“However, should the weather clear, as is likely, rapid drying will occur. This is particularly applicable to the east eoast-Marlborough Sounds are«, and visitors are asked to exercise extreme care with camp fires and any agent likely to cause an uncontrolled fire.” Persons visting forested areas were asked to obtain appropriate authority to do so, and to report any fires to the nearest forest officer or police station, he said.
