01.01.2022 No burning without a fire permit.

01.01.2022 Thursday 1st October marks the start of the 2020/21 Bush Fire Danger Period for the Bathurst Regional Council area. During the Bush Fire Danger Period any person wishing to light a fire in the open will require a Fire Permit, including hazard reduction burns. A Fire Permit is required for burning activities during the Bush Fire Danger Period and helps to ensure fire is used safely, minimising the danger to you, your property, your neighbours and the community. Permits are free and can be obtained from your local permit issuing officer or the Chifley Fire Control Centre on 1300 258 737

01.01.2022 Fact: Your safest option is to leave early. A bush fire can be a terrifying situation, intense heat and flames will make you tire quickly, it will be difficult to see and breathe. You may become confused or disorientated. Powerlines and fallen trees can block roads and make driving dangerous. It’s always better to leave early, before the fire arrives. Visit myfireplan. com.au and make a bush fire survival plan, it will help you make important decisions like when to leave or what you need to be prepared to stay. #getreadyweekend
