The problem is the International Airport is close by and the Pilots call in any signs of smoke, be it blue or not.
We had a big scare a number of years back when a fire took hold of the adjacent farm paddocks and swept through the area out of control burning all the bush area near the paintball fields towards Orana Wildlife Park.
The animal keepers were getting ready to put some of the animals down who couldn't be transported out of the danger zone.
Since then everyone has been extremely cautious of any sort of smoke or any possible source of ignition of fire.
Hence why ECan has the rules re No smoking etc.
