Western Australia will implement a new fire danger rating system on September 1, to better inform communities across the State about bushfire risks.
Emergency Services Minister Stephen Dawson said the Australian Fire Danger Rating System (AFDRS) will be rolled out across all Australian jurisdictions to replace the previous fire danger rating system, which was developed in the 1960s.
"All States and Territories are adopting the new system, giving Australia a nationally consistent approach. This will benefit Western Australians who travel interstate during bushfire season."- Mr Dawson
