Keep South Australia’s air healthy and community safe by burning responsibly. Burning in the open is a common practice to reduce the risk of bushfires, manage agricultural land and to dispose of agricultural and forestry wastes. Open fires are also used to cook food, prepare beverages, and as part of recreational activities such as camp fires.
