The CFA-declared Fire Danger Period has begun in Yarra Ranges, as of Monday, 10 January.
During the Fire Danger Period you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a written permit from CFA or a Municipal Fire Prevention Officer.
This means that burning off is now prohibited in all parts of the Yarra Ranges, unless you have a written permit.
Lighting a fire in the open air without a permit is an offence, and can bring a penalty of over $19,000 and/or 12 months imprisonment.
