🚒Good afternoon from Munro CFA🚒
The 2026-2027 Fire Danger Period has been formally announced for CFA District 10
The Fire Danger Period (FDP) begins on MONDAY 5th OCTOBER 2026.
Once the Fire Danger Period has been declared, fire restrictions come into force. This means you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a permit or comply with certain requirements.
If you don't obtain a permit, you could be breaking the law and may be prosecuted.
Find out more about restrictions and what you can and can't do during the Fire Danger Period.

Burning off during the Fire Danger Period
You need a permit to burn-off during the Fire Danger Period. You must also notify Triple Zero Victoria of your burn-off as contained in your permit. Otherwise brigades will be called out unnecessarily.
