A restricted fire season has come into force today in the Hastings District.

Parts of the district are already very dry and there have been a number of potentially serious fires.

Hastings District Council spokesman Trevor Mitchell says a permit must be obtained before any fire is lit in the open.

He says everyone needs to be extra vigilant when dealing with fires, with warm windy weather drying out vegetation.
