As we head into the final weekend before the Bush Fire Danger Period officially kicks off. Before you light up, you must fulfill your legal obligations to keep our community safe.

NOTIFY RFS & NEIGHBOURS: You are legally required to provide at least 24 hours' notice. Lodge your burn notice online via the NSW RFS Portal (www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify) and let all adjoining neighbours know.

KEEP IT SAFE & MANAGEABLE:
• Piles should be max 2m wide/long and 1.5m high, cleared of surrounding vegetation.
• Only burn dry, natural vegetation—no household waste or plastic.
• Check the wind and weather forecasts before lighting.
• Have a dedicated water supply ready and NEVER leave the fire unattended.
• Ensure the pile is completely extinguished before you walk away.
Failing to notify the RFS and your neighbours is an offence. Let’s work together to prevent unnecessary 000 calls and escaped fires.
