Fire danger season remains in force until 31 March

After a long hot summer, we are nearing the end of the fire season. The captain cautions us not to relax too soon, though, despite the recent rain some of us have had. The next few weeks can be busy.

Although not yet confirmed by the Southern Tablelands Bush Fire Management Committee (BFMC), we expect the fire season to end on 31 March. We will notify here and via our Facebook page if that changes. After that date, you will no longer need a permit to light a fire in the open but you must still notify the RFS at least 24 hours before you light up, and your neighbours (those you share a fence-line with).

The captain requests that you continue to advise him (02) 6100 6252 on the morning of your fire, to save our crews being mobilised unnecessarily to check out smoke sightings.

For a refresher on all you need to know about lighting fires in the open, whatever the time of year, see here.
