A smaller burning program is conducted in Spring, however fuel reduction burns can be conducted at any time the conditions are favourable, so check back here regularly. Autumn is when the fuel on the ground is at its driest, which will reduce smoke from the fire. It is usually safest to conduct fuel reduction burns in autumn. This helps to ensure that fuel reduction burns remain under control and that the effect of smoke on the community is reduced. Therefore the schedule of burns may change daily, based on the weather. Note that although the map displays the total operational area for a given burn, only part of the area may actually be treated.įuel Reduction burns are only conducted when it is safe and smart to do so. The Map indicates burns being planned (orange), burning now (red) and partially or fully completed for this season (grey/black, or with a 'p' or 'c'). Registered and/or permit burns are marked with a green triangle. The primary objective for burns marked with a triangle is fuel reduction, while other land management burns are marked with circles.These burns include forest industry silvicultural burns, regeneration burns, ecological and agricultural burns. While all efforts have been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information, there may be errors and/or omissions in the data presented. The intent of this map is to display all planned burns being conducted for the current burning season, where information has been provided to the Tasmania Fire Service. Note that bushfire incidents are not shown on this map - to see information about bushfires that may be happening in your area, click here.
