Blackout Rules Emphasized By Civil Defence Burra Unit
The Civil Defence committee commended public cooperation during the blackout and urged no light emission from any building. Open-blanket regulations do not apply to houses or motorists, and lights visible at blinds or through vents were noted. Residents are asked to blackout one room correctly and ensure all vents and fan lights are attended to. A new siren at Burra North worked well and was heard across the area.
