HIGH FIRE DANGER RATING - 12 OCTOBER 2026 - PERMITS SUSPENDED

Tomorrow's fire danger rating for the Monaro Alpine region (Snowy Monaro LGA) is High. Fire permits are suspended.

Be ready to act.

There’s a heightened risk. Be alert for fires in your area.

Decide what you will do if a fire starts.

If a fire starts, your life and property may be at risk. The safest option is to avoid bush fire risk areas.

It's training time!

This month we will concentrate on preparing for the coming high risk bush-fire season.

We will focus on recent events and likely bush-fire risks as well as preparing our station and vehicles in readiness to enable rapid response.

From 1pm at the shed. See you there!

Today marks the official start of the bush fire season, with the Bush Fire Danger Period beginning in most NSW Local Government Areas.

If you’re planning on conducting a burn, you’ll require a fire permit from your local Fire Control Centre or brigade. Fire permits help ensure fire is used safely and reduces the danger to you, your property and the community.

Residents and land holders must know the rules when it comes to the use of fire. Along with having the required fire permits, you need to notify your local fire authority and neighbours of your intent to burn at least 24 hours in advance.

For more information on the Bush Fire Danger Period and requirements around safe burning, visit our website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/BFDP
