The start of the season was pushed back from October 1 due to the mild weather conditions and prolonged periods of rain.
A wet winter is expected to see fire fuel loads increase across the district.
The Rural Fire Service (RFS) is preparing for the fire season by undertaking hazard reduction operations across the region with a focus of rail lines, which act as strategic breaks in the event of a fire.
