Fire permits now required Statewide
Posted 20 November 2024
The Fire Permit Period for all of Tasmania starts 19 November 2024. From 2am Tuesday, Fire Permits will be required across the state until the end of the 2024-25 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 contacting your local fire brigade or calling Tasmania Fire Service on 1800 000 699 or online at fire.tas.gov.au
During a Fire Permit Period:
1. People intending to light a fire for burning vegetation or for a similar purpose must obtain a permit.
2. People intending to light a fire at a sawmill or factory for burning wood waste or other flammable material must obtain a permit.
3. People intending to light a fire for cooking, warmth or disposal of garden waste do not require a permit provided that:
• The fire is not lit in peat, humus or marram grass.
• The fire is attended by a responsible adult at all times until it is extinguished.
• All flammable material is removed for at least three metres radius from the fire.
• It is less than one cubic metre in size.
