It's important we're all aware of the risks and our responsibilities so we can Burn Smart this season. If you need to conduct a burn on your property, it's important to know and understand your responsibilities:
(BLANK)
❌ Don't burn on a day with a Fire Danger Rating of High, or greater.
❌ Don't leave your burn unattended.
❌ Don't burn green waste. Allow it to dry out first.
❌ Don't conduct your burn under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
(BLANK)
✅ Do register your burn with DFES
✅ Do ensure you always have the ability and equipment to contain, control and extinguish your burn.
✅ Do let your neighbours know you plan to burn.
✅ Do have more than one person conducting the burn.
(BLANK)
☎️ Call DFES Communication Centre on 9395 9209 to register your burn
☎️ If your burn escapes your control, call 000 immediately. It's far safer to get backup on scene quickly to reduce the risk of a serious bushfire than to try to tackle a situation beyond your control.
(BLANK)
DFES has a Burn Smart Guide which is a key resource for anyone considering conducting a burn.
Find more about Bushfire Readiness in Denmark and other key resources by following Denmark Bushfire Ready on Facebook.
