Fire Danger Period End

Local municipality (council or shire) restrictions

The local council or shire may have their own local laws about lighting fires. Contact your local council to find out what municipal local laws may be in place. Local laws may be in place all year.

When calling 000 it is very important to be as accurate as possible with your information, especially in regard to location of an incident. The CFA gives examples of information you will be asked for, and the more accurate information you can give - the faster and more precisely we can respond.

One of the common problems we encounter is information provided by people who are driving past an incident. It is very important you give accurate information as to where the actual incident is. People sometimes give locations of where they are at the time of the call, which may be some distance from the actual original scene itself.

If you have an emergency please do not attempt to contact the fire brigade directly.
