During a Total Fire Ban no fire of any kind may be lit in the open.
This includes incinerators and barbecues, which burn solid fuel, e.g. wood or charcoal.
You may use a gas or electric barbecue, but only if: ? It is on residential property within 20m of the house or dwelling; ? It is under the direct control of a responsible adult; ? The ground around the barbecue is cleared for 3m of all material which could burn; ? You have a continuous supply of running water.
Members of the public can phone 1 800 654 443 or their local NSW Rural Fire Service Fire Control Centre for more information.
