Today marks the end of the Bush Fire Danger Period for all Local Government Areas (LGA's) across NSW. While you may not require a permit, you are required to notify the RFS and neighbours of your intention to burn at least 24 hours before lighting up. rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify

Due to favourable weather conditions, firefighers across NSW are undertaking several hazard reductions burns, including in the Snowy Valleys, Sutherland, Sydney and Blue Mountains. Smoke from these burns is likely to settle in low lying areas overnight. rfs.nsw.gov.au/hr

Hundreds of volunteers are giving up their weekend to conduct crucial hazard reduction burns, with over 10,000ha being treated. Smoke from these burns is settling across a broad area & may linger until mid week when a wind change and possible showers will help to clear the smoke.
