Slovenia’s Civil Protection and Rescue Administration has declared very high fire risk in the natural environment in several municipalities and high fire risk across the rest of the country, triggering an immediate ban on activities that could start fires. Under the Decree on Protection against Fire in the Natural Environment, setting fires and disposing of burning or other materials that may cause a fire is prohibited in natural environments throughout Slovenia. The restrictions also cover fire-setting near infrastructure facilities, lighting bonfires, using objects or devices or carrying out activities that may cause a fire outside built-up areas, and setting off fireworks. The notice also highlights a separate outdoor burning ban for waste. In addition to the general prohibition on open fires during high fire risk, burning waste outdoors is prohibited under Article 10 of the Decree on Waste. Burning green garden waste outdoors—such as cuttings and trimmings—also breaches the Decree on Waste, unless it is handled through the required municipal waste collection service (for households that do not have their own compost bin). During the period of high fire risk, compliance with the Decree on Fire Protection in the Natural Environment is monitored by the police. The “very high fire risk” applies in the municipalities of Koper, Sežana, Divača, Hrpelje–Kozina, Komen, Nova Gorica, Miren–Kostanjevica and Renče–Vogrsko, while “high fire risk” has been declared in all other Slovenian municipalities. The measure is aimed at reducing the risk of new fires during conditions assessed as extremely hazardous.
