The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) begins in the Mid-Western Regional Council area/ NSW RFS Cudgegong District on Thursday the 1st of October 2026.
If you haven't already, now is the time you should review your plans, prepare your property and have the important conversations with your family about what you will do on days of increased fire danger or if a fire should threaten your home!
During the BFDP, landowners and managers must obtain a Fire Permit from their local RFS brigade before lighting any fires, plus you must also notify your local fire authority and neighbours of your intent to burn at least 24 hours in advance. To obtain a Fire Permit you can contact your local brigade Permit Officer or the Cudgegong Fire Control Centre Monday- Friday on 02 6370 9800 or complete an online application
Fire is an important tool for managing fire risk and supporting farming operations, but it is crucial that conditions allow for safe burning and the necessary precautions are in place. Escaped burns can have devastating outcomes and can result in heavy penalties.
If a fire does escape, make sure you call Triple Zero (000) immediately so that emergency services can respond quickly and minimise the damage.

At this stage due to dryer then average weather conditions for this time of year in the Hargraves area, we are not issuing permits for recreational/pile burns. Permits may be permitted for cropping/farming after inspection only, by brigade permit officers. At this stage burning is expected to commence at the end of the month as per FCC.

Hargraves Fire Brigade Captain
