Planning a Burn:
⏰At least 24 hours before burning🔥, you must notify your local NSW RFS Fire Control Centre or Fire & Rescue NSW Station of your intention to burn (unless specified otherwise in your permit). The fire authority will record the information and monitor weather conditions.

☎️📨You must also notify any adjoining neighbours including those separated by a road, lane or waterway at least 24 hours before burning.
Your neighbours may be exposed to the smoke from your burn and may need to make preparations to avoid any negative impacts (medical conditions, impacts on
sensitive crops, livestock and pets). 🐥🐴
