Bushfire: why risk it?
Be prepared and be aware this bushfire season by knowing your bushfire risk, having a bushfire plan and emergency kit, and staying informed. Remember: leaving early is always the safest option.
Home fire safety
Winter is a high-risk time for home fires. Sadly, Tasmania has one of the highest fire fatality rates in Australia. While the dangers of fire are very real, there is a lot you can do to protect yourself, your family and your home.
Community Bushfire Protection Plans
Community Protection Plans provide information on how to prepare for and survive a bushfire, and how and where to get additional bushfire safety information. This information is a critical part of a Bushfire Plan.
Fire Permits & Burn Registrations
Due to an increased fire risk, it is now mandatory to obtain a fire permit for certain burning activities. Registering your burns also helps the TFS stay informed about what is burning across the state.
