The NSW Rural Fire Service said the decision was made to keep the community safe from bush and grass fires.

Inspector Guy Duckworth said blazes at Bellangry, Mount Seaview and Comboyne were just the latest in a flurry of recent wild-fires.

And there is also the chance fire weather may become even more dangerous in coming weeks as the season changes.

"Just one spark from a permit burn can cause a fire to spread and threaten life and property," Inspector Duckworth said.

“While fire permits have been suspended, we encourage residents to undertake other activities to protect their property from fire.

The RFS suggests starting by clearing leaves from gutters and removing flammable materials from around the house.

Inspector Duckworth said starting a fire without a permit during the Bush Fire Danger Period can incur serious penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Permits may be authorised in exceptional circumstances, such as burning diseased animals. To request an exemption, contact the Mid Coast Fire Control Centre on 6588 9000.
