Fire bans end in some districts

FIRE danger season will end in the Northeast and Northwest Pastoral districts this Sunday, the Country Fire Service has advised.

The districts will no longer be subject to fire restrictions from Monday, April 1.

CFS Prevention Services manager Leigh Miller said landowners in the two districts, who were planning to conduct burn-off activities from Monday, needed to be vigilant and mindful of the conditions.

"If you are planning burning off activities you must ensure the fire does not get out of control and potentially threaten lives and property," he said.

"Many areas around the state have not received a significant amount of rain and the ground may still be dry where a fire will burn very quickly and could easily get out of control.

"Any burning off around homes or on properties should be done in suitable weather conditions to help reduce the risk of the burn-off spreading out of control."

Fire bans for the other 13 districts remain in place.
