This afternoon Barham RFS assisted BIG4 Barham 'Oasis on the Murray’ with their annual pile burn, providing some warmth and entertainment for the guests who are enjoying the long weekend.

Management hosted a BBQ for the guests with the proceeds donated to the brigade, thank you for your support!!

The park also helps the brigade by allowing us to collect donated cans for recycling, this is a great way to raise funds for the brigade.

Your Safe Burning Checklist

BEFORE

- Check you’re allowed to burn. Are you allowed to have a burn in your area? Check with your council or local Fire Control Centre. There are alternative ways to get rid of waste or vegetation – talk to your council to discuss further.

- Get a permit. Permits are required during the Bush Fire Danger Period. They're free and easy to get. Contact your local Fire Control Centre or Fire and Rescue NSW fire station at least 24 hours before you plan to burn.

-Let people know. You can let us know of your planned burn at https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify. Make sure you also notify your neighbours at least 24 hours before you intend to burn.

ON THE DAY

-Check weather conditions like the fire danger rating, wind and temperature. Permits may be suspended during bad conditions. If there's a total fire ban, no fire is allowed out in the open.

-Make sure you're using fire safely. Check your permit for any special conditions. Ensure you have a cleared area around any material you're burning and monitor conditions closely.

-If the fire gets out of control, call Triple Zero. It's important that you monitor the fire and have firefighting equipment on hand. If you have any problems, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

AFTER

-Extinguish the fire and monitor it. Keep an eye on the material or area you've been burning and call Triple Zero (000) if the fire causes any concern.
