Don’t let distance fool you. A bush fire’s embers can destroy homes...

If you’re planning a pile burn over the coming days, it’s worth taking a little extra care.

We’ve seen a number of pile burns escape across the state recently, including a few closer to home. This often happens when conditions change quickly or piles become too large to manage safely.

When planning a pile burn, a few things to keep in mind:
🔥 Keep piles small and manageable (low and wide, not high)
🔥 Only burn dry, natural vegetation, not household materials
🔥 Choose calm conditions and keep an eye on the weather
🔥 Have water, tools and equipment ready before you light up
🔥 Stay with your fire at all times and fully extinguish it when finished

And importantly
📞 Notify your neighbours and the RFS at least 24 hours before you burn
rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify

Report all unattended fires to Triple Zero (000).

Planning a burn on your property? 🚨🔥

You are required to notify NSW RFS and your neighbours 24hrs before you light up. Recent days and weeks have seen multiple burns escape, putting properties and lives at risk right across the mid coast.

Do the right thing — notify before you burn:
👉 rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify

Don’t be the fire risk in your community.

Today, 31 March, marks the end of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) for the majority of NSW including Mid Coast and Port Macquarie-Hastings LGA.

While many landholders may no longer require a fire permit, you are still required to notify the RFS and your neighbours of your intention to burn at least 24 hours before lighting the fire.
