πŸ”₯ A permit is required to light fires in the open. Permits are free from your local Rural Fire Brigade or Fire Control Centre.

🌾 Recent spring rain has produced plenty of grass and crop growth, and as it dries out it can carry fast-moving grass fires.

🚜 Last season we saw significant fire activity from harvesting and hot works used in the open. If you’re harvesting, or working with angle grinders or welders, have adequate fire protection on hand before you start.

πŸ›‘οΈ Now is the time to maintain your fire breaks around key farm assets like sheds, machinery, fuel and grain storage, and homesteads.

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

Fire Danger Ratings give you clear actions you can take. The higher the rating is, the more dangerous the conditions will be. You can
use the Fire Danger Ratings as a trigger for action in your bush fire survival plan.
