❓Are you aware of your responsibilities when undertaking a pile burn on your property?
🚨Over the past few days brigades within the Far South Coast District have attended a number of escaped pile burns. A fire is not out once you cannot see flame.
Residual heat will remain for a number of days or weeks in the ember bed, which can escape when you are least expecting it.
🔥The NSW RFS provides a Pile Burning Standards guide which will take you through your requirements.

💸If you fail to report a fire or it leaves your property you can be fined.
