Notes
NOTE: You are reminded that fire restrictions apply throughout the fire season. Permit periods are usually in force during the dry summer period from November to March although this will vary from year to year depending on the dryness of the vegetation and the fire danger. Based on the latter, Tasmania is Currently Not in Fire Season!
NOTE: For information on FIRE BANS, please contact the Tasmanian Fire Service (TFS) Hotline on 1800 000 699 or visit the Tasmanian Fire Service web site.
