The burns will occur at Lattas Point Road, Batemans Bay, Albatross Road, Catalina, Fishermans Crescent in North Narooma and George Bass Drive and Denise Drive in Lilli Pilli.
Batemans Bay, South Durras, Long Beach, Surf Beach, Malua Bay, Broulee, Potato Point, Narooma and Central Tilba brigades will all be involved in the burns.
Superintendent John Cullen said hazard reduction was important for public safety.
“Hazard reduction is a vital element in helping to reduce the intensity of bush fires,” he said.
“We advise residents in the area of the burns to keep doors and windows closed, remove washing from clothes lines and make sure pets are in a protected area. Motorists should slow down and take care … with windows down and headlights on.”
