 In Victoria there are laws about lighting fires outside. When the grass dries out in summer, you can easily catch fire. You need to be careful not to start fires outside. That is why we have total fire ban days in Victoria. No fires are allowed outside on total fire ban. If you light a fire, you could be charged by the police. We also need to be careful not to accidentally start a fire. You cannot use machinery that can make sparks. You can only use gas barbecues if you follow certain rules. Can I or Can't I is on the CFA website. And it's all the rules of what you can and can't do.
