The fire danger period will be lifted for Yarra Ranges and Knox residents from 1am on Tuesday 11 April.
Regardless of this, residents are asked to be mindful of the conditions as a small burn-off can still get out of control.
You can refer to the CFA brochure ‘Are you burning off safely?’ to ensure your burn remains safe and legal. Take care and make sure you have water available at all times and never leave your burn-off unattended.
Local CFAs can also 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, residents are always urged to 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.
