The cigarette butt thing is an important one. Last weekend a friend threw his butt into my campfire pit that had some brush in it that fell from trees from the storm a couple weeks ago and it was going to be burned then the fire ban started. Anyway I was in the screen in porch and smelt camp fire smoke and when I went out my fire pit was lit up. If it can happen in a fire pit with a few small branches it will happen in the bush! Be safe everyone!
Cheers!
