P1 Campfire cooking 2016

Friday Night.  P1 is now grade 6 (Used to be Gr7).  I'm organising the campfire cooking.  The leaders have not been particularly communicative and I'm not sure if I am alerting the fire brigade or if I'm buying the ingredients.

Had a look on google for the Hangi Hotline.  Cant find any reference on google.
Qld Fire & Rescue “Hungi Hotline” 1800 017 029 – to notify of campfire.
