The Permit to Burn map displays QFD issued permits that have been activated in the last 30 days. An activated permit is one where Firecom has been notified. A fire may or may not have occurred close to this location. Each point is labelled with its permit date. To report all fires, call Triple Zero (000).

QFD issues permits for individuals and agencies including primary producers, local governments and state government departments such as the Department of Transport and Main Roads and federal government agencies including the Australian Defence Force. Some burns do not require a permit such as caneland, sawmills, and planned burns on Queensland National Parks properties. Click here to find out more about the permit to light fire requirements. For information on planned burns in Queensland National Parks properties, visit Park Alerts.
