🔥Regardless of the time of year - If you’re planning to burn on your property, you need to let us know at least 24 hours before you light up.

PLANNING A BURN ON YOUR PROPERTY?

It’s a great way to manage your land and reduce fire risk — but safety comes first.

Before you light up, you must notify both your neighbours and the NSW Rural Fire Service at least 24 hours in advance.

It’s quick and easy. Just head to rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify.

Giving notice helps avoid unnecessary emergency call-outs — and ensures our firefighters are ready when they’re really needed.

Plan ahead. Notify before you burn.
