Railways warn on coal fires and fire breaks for Newcastle district
The Commissioner of Railways notes rationing of Newcastle coal will hinder using imported coal in locomotives as a fire precaution this summer. Freer sparking Collie coal may stop its use, so landholders near railway reserves must install adequate fire breaks inside their boundaries. The department will keep spark arresters and other measures, but landowners must supplement these efforts to prevent fires.
