The Fire Danger Season has also been extended to 12 May in the Mount Lofty Ranges and metropolitan Adelaide.
Please continue to exercise care during this period, ensuring that your yard and premises are clear of combustibles (e.g. rubbish and plant material), and keep lawns and grasslands surrounding homes and sheds well-maintained.
To learn more about what you can and can’t do during the Fire Danger Season, including restrictions on the use of machinery, barbecues etc., please visit the CFS website on https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/…/what_can_i_do_what_cant_i_do.jsp
Burnt out spot fires may indicate that an arsonist is practicing in your area. Report suspicious behaviour during the Fire Danger Season by calling the Police Assistance Line on 131 444.
If you see a fire burning, or observe any situation where life or injury is threatened, please call Triple Zero (000) for urgent assistance.
Remember… Bushfires start when we stop paying attention.
