Residents are encouraged to use the remaining time before the FDP begins to prepare their properties and complete any planned burn-offs while conditions and regulations allow.
This includes cleaning up dry grass, leaves and other flammable materials, as well as completing safe private burn-offs while they are still permitted.
The CFA says preparation is more important than ever this year, with moist conditions leading to increased grass growth.
