The Fire Danger Period for Cardinia Shire will end at 1am on TUESDAY morning, (not the Monday as would normally happen).

Please do not light your burnoffs tomorrow - this will just mean we get paged to come and put the fire out, which is annoying for everyone.

After Tuesday, when you do start burning, please make sure you register your fire and take all the necessary precautions. For further information, please refer to the linked page on the CFA website.
