Let’s talk about Fire Permits 🔥
Do you need a Fire Permit ?

Yes, if you have a fire which is more than two metres in any direction.

(Combined small fires can also be considered this size and will require a permit)

What is a Permit ?

It is a legal document issued by a QFD Fire Warden or Chief Fire Warden in their area. A permit gives you permission to light, manage, and use fire during specific times, on the land described, and under certain conditions that will be listed on your permit. It also lets the fire service know when and where you intend to burn to help make sure the fire stays under control.

Permits in Queensland are FREE.

If you are unsure if you need a permit, please contact your local Fire Warden.

Find their details on the following link.

P.S. At this time of the year please use extreme caution, with any fire, no matter how small.

In Queensland, the Permit to Light Fire system is managed by a network of Fire Wardens. In rural areas, Fire Wardens are members of the Rural Fire Service Queensland and could be a staff member or a volunteer. In more urban areas, the Fire Warden could be the local fire station.
