NSW RFS - Lorne Rural Fire Service

30/03/2025

Permits are not required from the 1st of April please make sure you still inform your neighbours of any burns that you are going to do.

Today, 31 March, marks the end of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) for the majority of NSW. However, due to the ongoing fire risk, the BFDP will be extended in 11 Local Government Areas, including parts of the Central Tablelands and north-west regions.

While many landholders may no longer require a fire permit, you are still required to notify the RFS and your neighbours of your intention to burn at least 24 hours before lighting the fire.
