All ecological burns are conducted in terms of a permit for controlled burning issued by the relevant Subcouncil. The Environmental Resource Management Department’s Biodiversity Management Branch ensures that the procedure is conducted safely and efficiently and that the required burning permits are obtained from the Subcouncil, the City’s Air Quality Management Section, and Fire and Rescue Services (which also conducts a pre-inspection of the area).
Professional and competent fire fighters, as well as fire fighting equipment and vehicles are present during these burns.
