14.01.2022 Bushfire season has officially begun in Queensland but there is still time to prepare your property! Hazard reduction burns are a great way to reduce the fuel l...oad around your home. But if your fire will exceed two metres in any direction, you'll need a Permit to Light Fire. Here’s how: Contact your local council to see if you can have a fire. Let your neighbours know you intend to light a fire and your intention to apply for a Permit. Complete the application form including a map of the proposed burn area. Contact your local Fire Warden to submit your application.
