Whether you're heading away this Easter long weekend or staying home, we want everyone to be safe when it comes to the use of fire. While most of the state is no longer in the Bush Fire Danger Period, you are still required to notify the and your neighbours at least 24 hours before lighting your pile burn.
If you're going to be cooking up an outdoor feast, don’t forget cooking fires should be built within a permanently constructed fireplace, have combustible materials cleared for at least two metres around them and must be completely extinguished before you leave.
Don’t be a fire risk to your community. For more information on safe burning, visit the website:

There are simple things you can do to make sure you use fire safely on your property and avoid becoming the fire risk to your community.

🟠🟠 TOTAL FIRE BAN TOMORROW (06/02/2026) EXTREME FIRE DANGER RATING 🟠🟠

Tomorrow, a Total Fire Ban has been declared for the Southern Ranges Weather District (Upper Lachlan, Goulburn Mulwaree, Yass Valley, and Queanbeyan-Palerang LGA's)

What does this mean for you?
Extreme Fire Danger days mean conditions will be dangerous, fires will spread quickly and be extremely difficult to control, and lives and homes are at risk.

🚫A Total Fire Ban means no fires are permitted in the open. If you're camping in the area, do not light a campfire.
🚒Report all fires to Triple Zero (000).
📖Check your bushfire plan and ensure that your property is fire-ready tonight, don't leave it till the fire starts.
⚠️If a fire starts, take immediate action. If you and your property are not prepared to the highest level, go to a safer location well before the fire impacts.
🚜Reconsider doing hot works like welding, grinding, or slashing, as one spark is all it takes to start a fire.
🚗Reconsider traveling through bushfire risk areas.
💨Don’t wait to see smoke — leave early if your plan is to go.

Stay informed via the Fires Near Me app or www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
