Bush Fire Danger Period commencing 1 September. 📅

The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) will commence in the Far South Coast on Tuesday 1 September. From this date, anyone planning to conduct a pile burn or other permitted burn will need to ensure they have the appropriate Fire Permit before lighting.
A permit is only one part of the process. If you're planning a burn, remember:
✅ CHECK - Make sure your proposed burn meets the requirements for a safe and lawful burn. Check your pile, surrounding vegetation, available equipment, and other requirements before applying.
📝 PERMIT - During the Bush Fire Danger Period, obtain the required Fire Permit online here https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp before lighting your burn
📢 NOTIFY - Once you've identified suitable conditions and intend to proceed, you must provide at least 24 hours' notice before lighting:
Notify the NSW RFS online at https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp
Notify all adjoining neighbours of your intention to burn.
🔥 BURN SAFELY - Continue to monitor weather and fire conditions right up until you light.
Having a permit does not mean you should proceed if conditions are no longer suitable. These requirements help ensure proposed burns can be appropriately assessed, planned burns are recorded before ignition, neighbours know that smoke or fire may be visible.
There is plenty of information available on the NSW RFS website about Fire Permits, notification requirements, pile burn standards and preparing for a safe burn. Visit rfs.nsw.gov.au for more information.
A little planning before you light goes a long way towards keeping our Far South Coast communities safe.

🔥 Bush Fire Danger Period Starts 1 September

While the recent rain has been welcome across the Far South Coast, we still need a lot more. The landscape remains dry, fuels are curing, and conditions can change quickly.

With the Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) commencing on 1 September, residents will need a Fire Permit to light fires in the open, in addition to the existing requirement to notify.

We're also continuing to see a number of escaped burns across the district. What starts as a simple pile burn can rapidly become a threat to homes, property and the community.

Before you burn:
• Check weather and wind conditions carefully.
• Ensure you have adequate water and firefighting equipment on hand.
• Never leave a burn unattended.
• Monitor the fire until it is completely extinguished.
• Obtain the required Fire Permit from 1 September.

The cooler weather can create a false sense of security, but the reality is that much of the Far South Coast remains dry.

For information on Fire Permits and safe burning practices visit the NSW RFS website.
