Warmer Weather Means Property Maintenance. It Also Means Higher Fire Risk.
With warmer weather on the way, many landholders are getting out to mow and slash. Did you know machinery, especially ride-on mowers, can sometimes spark a bushfire?

This fire was sparked by a ride-on mower but was quickly contained thanks to the swift response of the Rural Fire Service Queensland. Image by Aaron Cook.

Before starting, check local fire danger conditions, avoid using machinery on fire ban days, and keep water, a fire extinguisher and a rake nearby.

A few simple precautions can help protect homes, livestock, crops, wildlife habitat and our community.

Always get a permit. And read it!

With the ground drying out, landholders are wanting to burn off.

All fires over 2m in any direction require a permit.

Permits are free.

In rural Queensland the use of fire is controlled through the volunteer Fire Warden network.

Remember, if you live in an urban or rural fringe community, the Fire Warden could be your local fire station.

The Fire Warden’s role includes:
-granting or rejecting applications for permit to light fire
-determining the conditions under which permitted fires can be lit
-advising owners and occupiers of the need for fuel and hazard reduction
-recommending safety precautions for the protection of homes and assets.
