Annual figures show Canberra had more bush and grass fires in 2017 than the year prior, but overall numbers have decreased since 2013.
The most common suburb for bush and grass fires in the ACT was Belconnen, despite it being one of the more central, with 61 recorded between 2013 and October 2017.
That was followed by Kambah, with 28.
An Emergency Services Agency spokeswoman said there were a variety of causes of these fires, including being deliberately lit and those occurring from accidental or natural causes.
She said ACT Fire and Rescue and ACT Rural Fire Service investigate the cause and origin of non-suspicious fires in the ACT, while ACT Policing investigates those considered suspicious.
The spokeswoman said the community played an important role in remaining vigilant during the fire season, to report suspicious activity or any sign of smoke immediately.
"The ESA works in close collaboration with the ACT community and always encourages people to not hesitate to contact Emergency Triple Zero to report any sign of fire," the spokeswoman said.
She said reports of active fires were posted on the ESA website, the Fires Near Me app and social media to keep the community up to date.
"The Electronic Fire Danger Signs, located on most ACT arterial roads, can also be used to inform the community of emerging situations," she said.
Meanwhile across the border in New South Wales, firefighters have battled more than 11,000 bush and grass fires so far this bushfire season.
High temperatures are forecast to continue, and the bushfire season will continue through until the end of March.
NSW Emergency Services Minister Troy Grant thanked firefighters and emergency services personnel for their hard work and continued service.
"While milder weather last week provided our hardworking firefighters with a well-earned breather after fighting 2000 fires in January, conditions across the state remain very dry, with no indications of this weather pattern breaking. Any day with high temperatures and strong winds is likely to lead to increased fire danger," he said.
