Australia's NSW Rural Fire Service requires landholders to notify, obtain permits, and follow precautions before hazard reductions or pile burns.
Australia's Rural Fire Service in New South Wales (NSW) reminds residents and landholders to notify the service before conducting hazard reductions or pile burns, regardless of the official bushfire danger period. A 24/7 online portal is provided for quick and easy notification. Landholders must also obtain necessary permits, notify neighbors and fire authorities 24 hours before lighting up, and be informed of any Total Fire Bans or restrictions. Fire safety measures and alternatives to burning, such as hand clearing, mowing, or slashing, are recommended.
