As we move through some very hot and dry conditions, weโre asking our community to stay extra vigilant to help keep our town safe.
๐ซ Total Fire Bans When a Total Fire Ban is declared, no fires of any kind are permitted outdoors. This includes campfires, solid fuel BBQs, and any activity that could create sparks. Please check official updates each day before starting any outdoor work.
โฑ๏ธ Prohibited Burning Times Weโre currently in the Prohibited Burning Period, which means all open-air burning is not allowed. This includes garden waste, burn-offs, and paddock burns. Even small fires can escape quickly in these conditions.
๐ญ Cigarette Disposal Please make sure ci******es are fully extinguished and disposed of responsibly. Throwing a cigarette out of a car window or onto dry ground can start a fire in seconds. Use proper ashtrays and double-check theyโre out before walking away.
Your awareness and care make a huge difference. Our volunteers are always ready to respond, but preventing fires in the first place is the best way to protect our community.
Stay safe, stay alert, and thank you for doing your part. โ Jurien Bay Volunteer Fire and Rescue ๐
