Total Fire Ban Information
While bushfires can occurr on days not declared a total fire ban day, it is important to be aware of when a day has been declared, and also what the rating is for the day.
Here are some links and/or maps showing whether a day is a total fire ban day in a particular area. If you don't know your fire ban district, contact your local council or fire service.
