The Fire Danger Period (FDP) for Murrindindi Shire Council areas commences at 1am on Monday, 20 November and will end at 1am on 1 May, 2018, unless revoked before.
The declaration of the FDP means that certain restrictions on the lighting of fires are in force.
During the FDP it is forbidden to light a fire in the open air without a written permit from the CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer.
Lighting a fire in the open air without a permit is an offence and can bring a penalty of over $21,600 and/or 12 months’ imprisonment.
Anyone issued with a permit is required to register their burn with the Burn-Off Notification Line on 1800 668 511.
