Are there any total fire bans on at all in Brisbane?
Because tonight I'm really shitty at my stupid neighbors who lit a backyard fire to burn the leaves they have raked up. (Far from the first time too. They act as though they are still living on the farm they came from when they moved up from NSW. Typical. Stupid hill billies).
Right now my eyes are sore and the house stinks of smoke.

You haven't been allowed to burn rubbish in your back yard in years! Just call the fire brigade and your neighbor will be made to pay the bill!

Thanks for that. 
Next time I will. And there sure is to be a next time too, as I said before it's far from the first time. And usually the flames are visible over the 6foot fence. Yea, the flames. 
And what stupid moron burns shit at 10:30PM in their backyard? The ones living next door to us I guess. Sorry, I'm just ranting now.

In our case it's gum leaves.
Could be worse I guess. They could be burning thier rubbish that they can't fit into their bin. Yea, they are THOSE types of people. Even 10 bins wouldn't be enough for them every week. And it's not beer bottles either, it's just rubbish. Sorry, ranting again.

Person next door used to burn off all the time... until I got pissed off and rang the local fire brigade. I explained that it wasn't an urgent call, but they rocked up with the fire truck with flashing lights and all.
Twas rather amusing (and satisfying) watching the embarrassment of the neighbour while the fire brigade absolutely drilled them for burning off.
Serves them right... I recommend dobbing in a burner, both for environmental and comical value.

I'd recommend your local council over the fire brigade, purely for a economical reason (ie: you pay the council's wages use them!!! The fire brigade could be better used elsewhere I feel). Besides, ever tried talking your way out of a fine from a ranger, it's not that easy!!!

we used to live next door to some piece of shit should have been demolished rental house that seemed to changed tenants each month. at one stage there was a group of young alcoholics that would drink everynight of the week. They loved to have fires in the yard at night and would throw cans of petrol, bottles of metho/turps whatever they could find. The last straw was when they decided it was fun to throw ammunition into the fire  well that's when the cops got called
