 Plan burning is carried out on public land across Victoria to reduce bushfire risk to people, property and communities. We're increasing the amount of plan burning we do and burns are being carried out when the weather and other conditions are right. You may see or smell smoke and roads, parks and forests may be closed. So it's a good idea to check when and where plan burns are happening near you. For more information visit DSE's website or call the Victorian bushfires information line.
