The CFA has announced the Fire Danger Period will end 1am 1am Monday 4 April 2022 for the Yarra Ranges Shire.
Fire restrictions will be lifted from this time and residents are reminded to please be mindful that the vegetation is still dry, and it is easy to lose control of your small burn-off.
You can refer to the CFA brochure ‘Are you burning off safely?’ to ensure your burn remains safe and legal. Take care and make sure you have water available at all times and never leave your burn-off unattended.
Your local CFA Brigade can provide you with advice on how to safely burn-off, and how to best prepare yourself and your property for the next fire season.
Before lighting a burn-off, CFA urges residents to always notify their neighbours and register their burn either online via firepermits.vic.gov.au or by calling the Burn-Off Notification Line on 1800 668 511.
Always check and adhere to your council’s local laws and regulations before burning off.
