At 8am this morning (4 February) the Southland region changed from an open fire season to a restricted fire season.
A restricted fire season means most fire types in the open will need a permit.
Principal Rural Fire Officer Timo Bierlin says the region is now at a point where a wildfire could easily start and spread out of control.
“With these drier conditions, it only takes a spark to start a fire,” Mr Bierlin says.
