Fire at Burnley bouldering walls |

Apparently someone has been planning to have a bonfire down at Burnley, and had collected a pile of scrap wood in preparation.
I want to get the message to them that this would be a very Bad Idea. I have also been in contact with Parks Victoria and asked them to remove the wood.
We rely on good relations with PV and Transurban to use the area, and setting up fires on their land and under their infrastructure does not help.
Not just the obvious risk of having a fire next to the rubber mats (flammable), plywood walls (flammable) and plastic holds (flammable), but all under a highway flyover where any disruption is quickly going to get into million$$$.
It doesn't even need to get out of control, just someone from across the river reporting Fire Under The Highway, for them to have to close the road until the Firies and Police can find their way in to see what it going on. Then somebody starts doing risk analysis and thinking maybe it's not such a good idea to have a climbing wall under our expensive bridge after all, and the Walls are gone. < rant over >
If anyone knows who this was, tell them not to do it again. And if you see anyone doing anything similar, please report it. |
