The Bush Fire Danger Period is now in place for all local government areas across NSW. So its important that everyone knows the rules when it comes to the use of fire on your property.
If you’re planning on conducting a burn, you’ll require a fire permit from your local Fire Control Centre or brigade. Permits are free and help to ensure fire is used safely, minimising the danger to you and your community.
In addition to a permit, you’re also required to notify your neighbours and the RFS at least 24 hours before lighting your pile. Don’t forget to check the forecast and fire danger ratings to ensure it’s safe to conduct your burn.
Don’t be a fire risk to your community. For more information on the Bush Fire Danger Period and Fire Permits, visit the website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/BFDP
