The Country Fire Authority's Chief Officer has approved the commencement of the Fire Danger Period (FDP) as follows:
Once the FDP has been declared, fire restrictions come into force. This means you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a permit to comply with certain requirements.
If you do not obtain a permit, you could be breaking the law and may be prosecuted.
