Fire Danger Period

The Fire Danger Period for Mansfield Shire and Mt Buller Mt Stirling Resort commenced on Monday 19 December 2022. The Fire Danger Period is now in place. 

Each year the Country Fire Authority (CFA) declares a Fire Danger Period, This is a period of time (up to six or seven months) during the warmest part of the year when the CFA restricts the use of fire in the community.

Fire Danger Periods are based on local conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall. The date that the Fire Danger Period ceases is determined on existing and predicted conditions that lead to decreased fire risk to the Shire.
