🔥This is the Fire Danger Index (FDI) for the next few days.🔥

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:

𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 are generally safe days and, though care should always be taken around fire, things are far less likely to get out of hand. Blue or green days are often good days for controlled burns.

Take extra care around fires on 𝘆𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 days, and you should not do any controlled burns when the rating is above 55. Signs of fire should be reported immediately.

𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗱 days are extremely dangerous. Every person should take extreme care with and around fire/fire causing things. Any signs of smoke or fire should be reported immediately.

An FPA (that stands for Fire Protection Association) is an organisation that helps land users manage wildfire risks. All FPAs have to go through A LOT of legal processes to even be registered as an FPA.

An FPA is only legally seen as an FPA if it’s registered with the Department of Forestry Fisheries And the Environment (and that is only one of many complicated processes).

The great part about FPAs is how they matter to pretty much everybody. It’s not just managing wildfire risk; it’s protecting the environment and 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. To our members, you get benefits and help that you cannot get anywhere else, and to our volunteers, you get to be part of something that makes a difference. A real difference. This is what an FPA is, and this is why you should care.
