Fire restrictions will be lifting in the Yarra Ranges LGA from 1am Monday 4 April as the Fire Danger Period is lifted.
Local CFA crews are reminding residents who will commence burn offs once the period ends to always be mindful of dry vegetation and the risks that are still prevalent.
Small burn offs still have the capacity to get out of hand and its urged they remain controlled and managed.
The CFA brochure ‘Are you burning off safely?’ has helpful tips to ensure 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 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 asks 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.
