Whilst there is no restrictions or permits required - if you plan on lighting a pile - Register it, monitor it, do not leave it unattended and ensure you have water available close by.

🔥 Tasmanians are being urged to take extra caution against bushfires over the coming days, with increased fire danger weather forecast for several parts of the state on Saturday.
A high fire danger rating has been forecast for North East, East Coast, Midlands, Upper Derwent Valley, South East and Central Plateau districts due to warmer, dry weather and gusty westerly winds.
These conditions mean that fires can start easily and spread quickly.
While there are currently no fire restrictions in place and the Fire Permit Period has not yet commenced, we're asking the community to take a few simple steps to help keep Tasmania safe:
✅ Check any campfires, burn-offs or fire pits lit in recent days or weeks and make sure they are fully extinguished. Remember: soak it, stir it, soak it again.
✅ Review your bushfire survival plan so you know what you'll do if a fire starts.
✅ Stay informed through the TasALERT app, TasALERT or ABC Local Radio.
✅ If you see smoke, flames, or a fire that appears to have reignited, don't assume someone else has reported it. Call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
We're working hard to keep the community safe, but everyone has a role to play in reducing fire risk.
