When the Fire Danger Rating is HIGH or EXTREME, all high-risk activities in the interface or intermix area (within 10 meters of the forest or vegetation) require a wildfire exemption permit. A minimum two-hour fire-watch is required after all activity ceases.
Permits are not valid and will not be issued during Water Conservation Stage 3 as site mitigation measures may compromise the low municipal water supply. For more information see Water Conservation Stages.
For more information visit Fire Prevention and Regulations.
Fees:
A non-refundable $150 fee applies for each work site. The fee is payable by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Visa Debit (2.2% credit card fee applies to all transactions).
