The Unrestricted Burning Period is now in effect in the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale. 

During the Unrestricted Burning Period residents:

• Can burn on Sundays and public holidays
• Can burn at any time of the day
• Don't need a permit to burn

Residents must keep in mind that it is still your legal responsibility to check the Fire Danger Rating in the Shire prior to burning. If the Fire Danger Rating is HIGH or above, or if a Total Fire Ban is in place, all burns are strictly prohibited.

When burning, please remember to consider your neighbours, keep the burn contained, and make sure it’s fully extinguished once complete. If your burn escapes, call 000 immediately.

To get the latest information on Fire Danger Ratings, ban information, bushfire alerts, and other emergency warnings, we encourage you to download the Emergency WA app or visit the Emergency WA website.

You can also find out the Fire Danger Rating in the Shire you can subscribe to our SJ SMS Alert Service which allows subscribers to receive fire ban notifications and Fire Danger Rating alerts straight to your phone. It’s free, and you can opt in and out at any time. Please remember this service isn't an emergency alert system and if you witness a fire, you should always call 000.

The Unrestricted Burning Period will be in place until 30 September, subject to seasonal changes.
