Hume City's Fire Danger Period commenced on Monday 20 December.
The Fire Danger Period is when fire services restrict the use of fire in the community. This is to prevent fires from starting and keep the community safe. During the Fire Danger Period, you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a permit or comply with certain requirements.
This is different to a Total Fire Ban day, which can be declared at any time throughout the year. Fire Danger Period restrictions will remain in place until the seasonal fire danger lessens, which could be as late as May
