Summer can be a great time to go camping ⛺✅

But hot, dry summer conditions in many parts of the state mean lighting campfires at this time of year can have extremely serious consequences if fire escapes.

Campfires are prohibited in most Parks and Wildlife campgrounds between December and March due to bushfire risk.

You mustn’t use stoves, barbecues or any other appliances powered by burning solid fuel at any campground while a campfire ban is in place.

Stoves, barbecues and other appliances powered by liquid or gas fuel can be used unless a total fire ban has been declared for the area. Information on total fire bans is available at www.emergency.wa.gov.au.

You’re risking more than just a fine if you light a campfire – one small spark can quickly start a bushfire that could put lives and homes at risk.

The Australian bush, relies on fire to rejuvenate but burning at the right time of year it also takes the fuel load away to stop the intensity of a bushfire in summer

Hooley Road - the benefits of prescribed burning.

The more fuel available to a bushfire, the hotter the fire can burn and the harder it is to control. In comparison, reduced fuel levels assist not only in reducing how quickly a bushfire can spread, but it also reduces how far the fire can jump.

The top photo shows an area of prescribed burning in coastal heath which was undertaken by the Parks and Wildlife Service in winter 2016. The other photo from the Margaret River bushfires shows this same area, of green coastal heath, which was the only area not impacted by bushfire.

District Fire Coordinator Ed Hatherley said staff carried out this prescribed burn during winter to achieve a low intensity burn and allow for vegetation to regenerate thanks to seasonal rainfall.

“The fact that this area was previously prescribed burnt shows the benefits this has in reducing fuel loads and minimising the impact that an intense summer bushfire can bring,” he said.

FIRE REWARD: Western Australian detectives believe the out-of-control fire was deliberately lit and are offering up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Bushfires continue to burn across the Boranup area, with almost 6,000 hectares scorched and emergency services expecting the fires will burn through another 2,000 in the coming days.

The area is still closed due to the fire activity but emergency services say it's a miracle no homes or lives have been lost so far.
