The Bush Fire Danger Period is over. However you must still notify RFS and Neighbours if you are burning. Please also remember that NOT all of your neighbours have facebook so if you post on your local community page they will NOT be aware.

Here are the key items to make your burn a safe one:

1. Notify via the RFS website at least 24 hours before

2. Notify your neighbours at least 24 hours before;

3. Check the weather forecast and fire danger - only burn if favourable conditions;

4. Use fire safely with clearings all around and water onsite;

5. Monitor the fire in person and see that it is full extinguished before leaving.
