Tasmania Fire Service has co-launched a new national online learning module to help workers understand bushfire risk, prepare for emergencies, and make safer decisions before and during the bushfire season.

The free training takes 45 to 60 minutes to complete and is suitable for anyone who lives, works in, travels through, or visits bushfire-prone areas.

Tasmania’s fire permit period will end at 2am Thursday after a bushfire season that destroyed 21 properties statewide.

The Tasmania Fire Service made the call following a review of dry conditions.

Deputy Chief Matt Lowe said major fires at Dolphin Sands and Stieglitz in late 2025 damaged homes and vehicles.

Permits are no longer required, but landowners are urged to register burns. Lowe said notifying authorities helps brigades respond if needed.

The change coincides with a delayed wine harvest.

Wine Tasmania CEO Sheralee Davies warned burns could impact vineyards, urging people to check with growers before lighting fires.
