Definition of terms - planned burn status

Ready
Planned burns that may commence in the next 10 days when the weather and fuel conditions are suitable.

Authorisation required
A 'Ready' planned burn is waiting for approval for ignition; this is likely to occur in the next few days.

Ignition authorised
The planned burn has been approved for ignition, likely within the next 24 hours, subject to weather and resources. This approval is a final check that it is appropriate and safe to conduct the planned burn.

Ignition
The planned burn has been ignited (in whole or part depending on burn size and/or situation). There is active fire within the area of the planned burn.

Controlled
A planned burn that requires routine patrol, including extinguishing or removing any burning materials around the perimeter of the burn.

Safe
The planned burn has been completed - it is considered safe to no longer patrol the burn area.

Area
The planned size of the burn in hectares. Note - some burns are conducted in stages and ignition may occur on more than one day. Final completion of a burn may be delayed until a later burn season.
