🔥 Summer Safety and Registered Burns — Stay Safe, Tasmania! 🔥
As summer approaches and fire danger increases across the state, the Tasmania Fire Service wants to remind everyone that registered burns and fire permits are key to keeping our communities safe. With hotter, drier conditions forecast and fire danger rising, it’s more important than ever to plan carefully and follow safety rules before lighting up.
Let’s work together to make this summer as safe as possible — plan ahead, register your burns, and stay informed with the latest fire danger updates. 🌞🔥💧
The Fire Permit Period for all of Tasmania will start tomorrow (Tuesday, 16 December 2025) – this means from 2am Fire Permits will be required across the state until the end of the 2025-26 bushfire season 🔥📃
If you have a property and you wish to conduct a burn (larger than 1 cubic metre in size) on your property, you will need to apply for a free Fire Permit by submitting an application online at fire.tas.gov.au or calling the Tasmania Fire Service on 1800 000 699
📲 During a Fire Permit Period:
📑 People intending to light a fire for burning vegetation or for a similar purpose must obtain a permit.
📑 People intending to light a fire at a sawmill or factory for burning wood waste or other flammable material must obtain a permit.
