Planning a burn on your property ?
It’s a great way to manage your land and reduce fire risk,
but safety comes first. Before you light up, you must notify both your neighbours and the NSW Rural Fire Service at least 24 hours in advance.
It’s quick and easy. Just head to rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify
Giving notice helps avoid unnecessary emergency call-outs and ensures our firefighters are ready when they’re really needed.
Plan ahead. Notify before you burn.

Congratulations to you both
Congratulations to both, and thank you for your service to our community
Well done Coogee and Adrian. You can both be very proud of your efforts. The RFS and our local communities are fortunate to have people like you guys who can respond in times of need.
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service will begin the Urialla North Hazard Reduction today (Monday 7 April).
The burn will continue into the week, if conditions allow.
Smoke may be seen in the area.
There will be fire trucks and National Parks & Wildlife vehicles moving through the area. Take care.
Vehicles in the area should slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on.
If you see an unattended fire, call Triple Zero (000)!
