All members,

Prior to the start of the season, please insure that you obtain a Fire Permit pursuant to the Fire and Emergency Services 1990.  Alternatively, please insure that you can comply with the requirements of the Commissioner’s Notification for burning.  Members are reminded that –

  1. It is an offence to light a fire without a fire permit or compliance with the Commissioner’s Notification;
  2. To find your Fire Warden – follow the link to the Fire Rural Services website – ‘

  1. The Commissioner’s Notification cannot be relied upon if:
    1. The paddock to be burnt adjoins a highway or main road; or
    2. The paddock to be burnt adjoins urban houses or other intensive activities.

    If either circumstance is applicable you must obtain a fire permit from your Fire Warden.  If you cannot contact your Fire Warden, please contact Rural Fire Service Townsville on 4796 9082.
