Wondering how the permit to burn process
works? Here’s a quick rundown:
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ช๐ฒ (๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป) ๐๐ผ:
- We issue Permits to Burn and set the terms/conditions under which permitted burning can occur.
- Conditions may include (but are not limited to): having 3+ people present at all times, extinguishing burns by specific times, having access to water supply for extinguishing and not burning on days when the wind exceeds certain speeds or when the Fire Danger Rating (FDR) is HIGH or above.
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐:
- You must comply with the terms/conditions outlined on your permit or you run the risk of a fine and fire escape.
- This includes registering burns with DFES and notifying nearby landowners.
- Remember, don’t burn when the FDR is HIGH or above! It is a condition of your permit! Burning on a HIGH FDR day risks fines and fire escape.
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฆ:
- DFES simply registers your burn but doesn’t enforce, police or advise on Shire conditions regarding your permit to burn.
