Open Burning Period – Important Safety Information
While a permit is not required, it’s essential that all residents burn responsibly and safely:
1️⃣ Register your burn with DFES
📞 Call 9395 9209 before lighting up - This helps prevent unnecessary callouts by our volunteer fire brigade.
2️⃣ Monitor your burn at all times
Never leave a fire unattended.
3️⃣ Be properly prepared
Have suitable firefighting equipment available and only burn material in manageable quantities.
🚨 If a burn escapes or becomes difficult to control, call 000 immediately and ask for Fire.
