Now is an ideal time to familiarise yourself with the capabilities of the
Emergency WA website, and to download the Emergency WA App if you have not already done so.
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:
You must not leave your burn unattended
You must always have the ability and equipment to contain, control and extinguish your burn
Let your neighbours know you plan to burn
You should not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while you conduct your burn
You should have more than one person conducting the burn
Don't burn green waste. Allow it to dry out first
Don't burn plastics, vinyl, metal or anything that is not plant-based material. Fines apply
Call DFES Communication Centre on 9395 9210 to register your burn
If your burn escapes your control, call 000 immediately. It's far safer to get back up on the scene quickly to reduce the risk of a serious bushfire than to try to tackle a situation beyond your control.
