The Fire Danger Period Commences 30th January 2023
The Fire Danger Period has been declared for the Mornington Peninsula and commences at 0100 hours on Monday 30 January 2023.
The commencement of the Fire Danger Period is determined on local existing and predicted conditions that lead to increased fire risk within our locality.
This means you cannot light a fire in the open air unless you have a permit or comply with certain requirements.
If you do not obtain a permit, you could be breaking the law and may be prosecuted. Penalties may include a substantial fine and/or up to 12 months’ imprisonment.
For guides on what you can and can’t do during the Fire Danger Period or on days of total fire ban visit cfa.vic.gov.au/can
For burn-offs prior and after the declared Fire Danger Period, ensure you comply with any municipal local laws and always register your burn online at Fire Permits Victoria.
Knowledge is the best tool when it comes to fighting fires; help spread this information by talking to your family, friends and neighbours.
