Fines up to $10K for Unapproved Rubbish Burning – NFA

The National Fire Authority warns that anyone burning rubbish without approval could face fines up to $10,000.

This comes as fire incidents rise nationwide, threatening lives. Six fires have been reported so far, including three just yesterday, with investigations ongoing.

The NFA has also received complaints about uncontrolled burning, especially risky in the current hot, dry conditions. They urge residents to secure their properties before leaving to prevent the risk of fires.
