Declared Fire Danger Period

Cancellation of the declared Fire Danger Period for 2010

The Commissioner QFRS has reviewed the need to continue the declared Fire Danger Period across Queensland. With the early onset of wet weather and the resultant low fire risk conditions, the Commissioner has decided to cancel the Fire Danger Period as of Friday 22 October 2010. A notification has been prepared for the Queensland Government Gazette to formally cancel the declaration and return Queensland to normal permit conditions.

The declared Fire Danger Period required people wishing to use fire to obtain a permit for all fires regardless of size unless the fire was for cooking purposes or was of a special class exempt for industry purposes. The cancellation of the Fire Danger period returns us to a position where a permit is not required to light a fire with dimensions less than 2 metres in any direction, provided due care is taken.

Following the successful implementation of this years Fire Danger period, QFRS will monitor seasonal conditions through to the next fire season and reintroduce the additional restrictions when required

For further information or fire permits, please contact our acting Fire Warden, Grahame Beljon on 54469252
