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.
