An open fire ban which had briefly been in effect in the Northwest Fire Centre has been rescinded, at least for now.
As of noon tomorrow, category 2 open burning will once again be allowed within the Northwest Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.
Category 2 open fires include: any fire smaller than two metres wide by two metres high, and stuble and grass fires of more than 0.2 hectares.
Those wishing to start larger, category 3 fires must still contact their respective fire centre for permission.
