Developers mow fire risk berm<br />
DEVELOPERS OF a<br />
240-section subdivision in<br />
Lincoln have mowed their<br />
berm after it was deemed a<br />
fire risk.<br />
An article in the January<br />
17 <strong>Selwyn</strong> <strong>Times</strong> highlighted<br />
how berms being<br />
left unmowed escalate the<br />
fire risk.<br />
Fire risk is already high<br />
with areas north of the<br />
Rakaia River entering a<br />
prohibited fire season last<br />
week. A prohibited fire<br />
season means no open-air<br />
fires are allowed and all<br />
fire permits are suspended.<br />
After the article appeared<br />
the council contacted<br />
the landowner, Lime<br />
Developments, to mow<br />
the grass, which was done<br />
last week. Along with the<br />
news<br />
