Fire Danger Season starting today

The official Fire Danger Season is now in place for the Riverland, seeing a number of activities now prohibited.

This week the CFS launched their Be Bushfire Ready campaign, with the key message being all South Australians needing to take steps and prepare.

CFS Chief Officer, Brett Loughlin said “Whether you live, work, or travel through a bushfire risk area, it is critical that all South Australians are prepared for the upcoming Fire Danger Season and know what to do if a bushfire starts near them,”

Locally the Riverland fire danger season ends on the 30^th of April next year, with the full list of prohibited activities and restrictions available via the CFS website.
