The Bush Fire Danger period will begin on 1 September and end 31 March 2025 for the Kempsey Local Government Area. During this period landowners and managers are required to obtain permits before lighting fires for land clearance or fire breaks.
Understanding your responsibilities and the associated risks when it comes to lighting fires is an important part of keeping yourself and our community safe - and there are significant penalties if you light an illegal fire or if your fire escapes and causes damage to property or the environment.
If you do need to light a fire during the bush Fire Danger period, refer to the below quick fact sheet from the Rural Fire Service for some helpful tips.
