Indeed, its was MONTHS of burning rather than weeks. I was starting to wonder what else there was left to burn, until I saw their tipper dropping stuff off from another site, to be burnt.

Fire Brigade came out about 3-4 times in the end until they were officially told NO FIRES !
The last one being one of the builders putting a propane cylinder on the fire. Needless to say the Fire Brigade received numerous calls of an explosion... More of their time wasted.

Blushingsnail, indeed there are laws and bylaws about these matters, however these particular developers rely on "charm" I think its called. There are time restrictions and material restrictions, however some of the fires were rediculous is size, totally out of control, and left to burn over night. Which is when I would tend to call the Fire Brigade out.

Then of course there is their damage to other houses property, demolishing fences that did not belong to them, causing stupid amounts of damage to the pavement, and the fire hydrant (sp) The list is endless.
