Fire permits have been suspended for the Gwydir, Uralla and Armidale Local Government Areas.
The suspension of the permits is due to the High Fire danger ratings, dry conditions and elevated winds.
This measure is being taken to reduce the risk of fires starting and spreading under the heightened fire conditions.
If you currently hold a fire permit, you are unable to light new fires or stoke up existing fires during the suspension period. Please ensure any planned burns or activities requiring a permit are postponed.
The Fire permits ban for Gwydir Local Government Area will be until midnight Friday while bans in Uralla and Armidale will last until midnight Saturday.
