Fire Danger Season ends in two districts 31/03/2016
31/03/2017
The Fire Danger Season will end at midnight (March 31) for the North West Pastoral and North East Pastoral districts.
From April 1, fire restrictions will no longer apply to the two districts but will continue for the 13 other Fire Ban Districts across South Australia.
CFS Director Preparedness Operations, Leigh Miller, said many landowners across the two districts may use the end of the Fire Danger Season to conduct burn-offs.
"If you are planning burning-off activities you must still be diligent to ensure a fire does not get out of control and threaten lives and property," Mr Miller said.
"We urge people conducting burn offs near a homestead to make sure all precautions are taken and contingency plans are in place to manage the fire should it get out of control.
"Locals residents can contact their local council or CFS for advice on burning-off outside of the Fire Danger Season."
A Total Fire Ban may also be declared outside the Fire Danger Season, and in this event a permit will be required and may be obtained from local councils.
