Today we experienced a dry, hot and windy day. It reminds you of what a dangerous combination this can be. This afternoon we received a call to a tree alight - our available crew responded quickly as it can rapidly get away and become much more dangerous.
If you want to make a HUGE difference in your community, consider joining the Conjola Brigade today. We are ready to take your call - 0414 544 013 (Alan - Captain)

Preparation is the first defence to protect your property against bushfire.

Keep your home clear of debris by removing overhanging branches, cleaning gutters and keeping grass low.

We're helping Shoalhaven residents get ready by offering no-charge green fire-reduction waste disposal at all Council recycling and waste depots in September only.

You think it will never happen to you until it does. Prepare your home. Being prepared can save lives and your property. It can also help you and your family make better decisions when before an incident occurs.

Bush Fire Danger Period commencing 1 September. 📅

The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) will commence in the Shoalhaven on Tuesday 1 September. From this date, anyone planning to conduct a pile burn or other permitted burn will need to ensure they have the appropriate Fire Permit before lighting.

A permit is only one part of the process. If you're planning a burn, remember:

✅ CHECK - Make sure your proposed burn meets the requirements for a safe and lawful burn. Check your pile, surrounding vegetation, available equipment, and other requirements before applying.

📝 PERMIT - During the Bush Fire Danger Period, obtain the required Fire Permit online here https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp before lighting your burn

📢 NOTIFY - Once you've identified suitable conditions and intend to proceed, you must provide at least 24 hours' notice before lighting:

Notify the NSW RFS online at https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp
Notify all adjoining neighbours of your intention to burn.

🔥 BURN SAFELY - Continue to monitor weather and fire conditions right up until you light.

Having a permit does not mean you should proceed if conditions are no longer suitable. These requirements help ensure proposed burns can be appropriately assessed, planned burns are recorded before ignition, neighbours know that smoke or fire may be visible.

There is plenty of information available on the NSW RFS website about Fire Permits, notification requirements, pile burn standards and preparing for a safe burn. Visit rfs.nsw.gov.au for more information.

A little planning before you light goes a long way towards keeping our Shoalhaven communities safe.
