Fire Wardens play an important role in their community. They help manage the land before fires start, which can reduce how often and how severe wildfires can be. 

In rural Queensland, the volunteer Fire Warden network administers the Permit to Light Fire system and provides advice to landholders on managing fire risk. If you live in an urban or rural fringe community, the Fire Warden could be your local fire station.

The Fire Warden’s role includes:

• granting or rejecting applications for permit to light fire
• determining the conditions under which permitted fires can be lit
• advising owners and occupiers of the need for fuel and hazard reduction
• recommending safety precautions for the protection of homes and assets.
