Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) has extended the temporary cessation of fire permits in parts of the Far North Region.
The cessation of fire permits started at 5pm, 4 September and will be extended until 5pm Friday, 13 September. This includes fire permits in the Mareeba Shire Council, Tablelands Regional Council and parts of the Cook Shire Council.

Any permits currently written, and in force, will be temporarily cancelled during this period.
