What does "Total Fire Ban" mean
Daft question - I just read that Victoria has imposed a Total Fire Ban. Does that just mean camp fires etc or does it even mean BBQ's (coals and/or gas)?

Not a Daft question at all.
General Advice on a Day of Total Fire Ban Tools and Equipment Tools and equipment that use a naked flame or generate sparks such as welding or grinding, must not be used in the open air. If essential works are required to be done a special permit may be issued, after a thorough investigation of each application. Apply to your CFA Regional Office.
