DARTMOOR FIRING NOTICE

Warning signals, red flags by day and red lamps by night, indicate that live firing 
is taking place within the range boundaries, which are marked by red and white 
poles. When warning signals are displayed do not cross the range boundary. 
If the warning signals are not hoisted by 0900 (Apr - Sep) or 1000 (Oct – Mar) 
no live firing will take place that day and any bangs you hear will be blank 
cartridges or fireworks. DAY firing is between sunrise and sunset. NIGHT firing 
is between sunset and sunrise. Flags are lowered as soon as live firing ceases.
