Fire Permits
Fire permits help ensure that fire is used safely. A permit sets out the rules around how a fire is lit and maintained, and lets firefighters know when you are conducting burning activities on your property.
​
The permit issuing Officer may add any conditions deemed as necessary but all permits have standard conditions that are listed on the permit form, such as:
-
the permit is to be carried by the permit holder, or another person at all times at the site of the fire.
-
the fire must be supervised at all times.
-
notifications are given to the NSW RFS, and adjoining neighbours at least 24 hours prior to the fire being lit and
-
the permit may be varied, cancelled or suspended, depending on weather conditions.
