(2) Not applicable. (3) The prescribed burn was ignited on 27 February 2006 to regenerate and protect rare plant species and the western bristlebird habitat. The temperature at Walpole was 25.5 degrees Celsius and the winds were south at 15 knots an hour during the afternoon. (4) Some 800 hectares.
