Fire Danger Period

Published on 22 November 2023

The Fire Danger Period (FDP) in our area has begun. The El Niño weather pattern means we can expect a hotter and drier summer than recent years, and it’s important to be prepared for it.

Some things you can do now to be prepared include clearing your gutters – removing leaves and twigs, keep grassed areas trimmed and watered, and rake and clear leaf litter. It’s a good idea to trim tree branches overhanging your house too.

It's important to keep an eye on the fire rating system before undertaking any activities that may involve fire or could create a spark. Depending on the weather, certain activities may be prohibited.

Find out what you can and can’t do during the FDP by clicking on the link below.
