In Queensland, the Permit to Light Fire system is managed by a network of Fire Wardens.
In rural areas, Fire Wardens are members of the Rural Fire Service Queensland and could be a staff member or a volunteer. In more urban areas, the Fire Warden could be the local fire station.
What do Fire Wardens do?
- Grant or reject applications for permit to light fire.
- Determine the conditions under which permitted fires can be lit.
- Help Queenslanders understand the need for bushfire mitigation.
- Help communities understand preparing their homes and properties for bushfire.
