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.
