The CFA declares Fire Danger Periods for each municipality during periods of increased fire risk. To check if the Fire Danger Period is in place go to the CFA website.
Total Fire Bans are declared by the CFA on days when fires are likely to spread rapidly and be difficult to control.
During a Fire Danger Period, which usually last for several months, there are restrictions around open-air fires and activities that involve an open flame or may create a spark.
