⚠️ BUSH FIRE DANGER PERIOD ⚠️

The Bush Fire Danger Period commences 1st September across the Coffs Coast and Bellingen areas.

From 1st September, a fire permit is required for burning activities during the Bush Fire Danger Period.

Permits are free and can be obtained online through the NSW RFS or from your local brigade permit officer.

Before lighting any fire, remember you still need to:

• Notify your adjoining neighbours and the NSW RFS at least 24 hours before burning, as required.

• Ensure weather conditions are suitable and the fire can be safely managed.

⚠️ If you fail to notify, fire crews may respond and penalties may apply.

For more information about fire permits and safe burning, visit the NSW RFS website or contact your local Fire Control Centre.

Fire permits are important to make sure that fire is used safely. When you have a permit, it tells you the rules for starting and keeping a fire, and it also informs firefighters when you are burning things on your property.

🔥 Warmer weather is here— PREPARE YOUR PROPERTY

Embers can travel ahead of a bush fire and find their way into your home and around your property.

Today, walk around your property and look for things that could fuel a fire.

🌿 Clear leaves, twigs and debris
✂️ Cut back vegetation around buildings
🌱 Keep grass and lawns maintained
🏠 Clean your gutters
🪵 Move combustible materials away from buildings
💧 Check hoses, pumps and water supplies

You don't have to do everything in one day.

Start with the jobs closest to your home.

Bush Fire Danger Period begins 1 September

Are you ready?
