21.01.2022 TOTAL FIRE BAN for the EASTERN EYRE PENINSULA on SUNDAY That includes Cleve, Franklin Harbour, Kimba and Whyalla. Fire danger will be Severe on the Eas...tern Eyre Peninsula on Sunday. What CAN and CAN’T you do during a fire ban? A total fire ban means no fires in the open air. ‘Open air’ means anywhere outside, including a deck, balcony, courtyard or park. Includes cities and towns. Runs 12.01am -11.59pm Sunday 15 November. Cooking outside is restricted to gas and electric barbecues only, with conditions. No "hot works" like welding or grinding. Penalties apply for breaking the rules. What does ‘SEVERE’ fire danger mean? Expect extremely hot, dry and windy conditions. If a fire starts and takes hold, it will be hard for firefighters to bring under control. Well prepared homes that are actively defended can provide safety. You must be physically and mentally prepared to defend in these conditions. If you are not prepared, leaving bushfire prone areas early in the day is your safest option.
