Smoke alarms, unlike wine, do not age well over time.

Did you know that most smoke alarms have a use-by date? Some modern smoke alarms have a life-span of up to ten years and may not have a battery to change, making it easy to forget how long since they’ve been installed.

Remember to regularly clean and test your alarms, and check the use-by date to help keep track of their age.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget

🔥 Burning Off Reminder for Residents & Landowners 🔥

The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) has now ended, however there are still important legal requirements that must be followed before lighting up.

Before you burn off, you must:

* Notify NSW RFS at least 24 hours prior via the online notification form: https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp?id=guardian_cat_item&sys_id=9e19819bc361f1d04a9cdc31150131ad
* Notify neighbours at least 24 hours before.
* Check the weather forecast and fire danger.
* Use fire safely with clearings all around.
* Monitor the fire in person and see that it is fully extinguished before leaving unattended.

Safe Burning advice can be found via the link below:
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/farm-fire-safety/safeburning

⚠️ Failure to notify both the NSW RFS and adjoining landowners is an offence under the Rural Fires Act 1997.

If you do not comply, you may be subject to fines, legal action, or suppression costs if emergency services are required to respond.

Even outside the Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP), fires can still escape and threaten lives, property and emergency first responders. Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe.

⚠️⛈️ SEVERE STORM FORECAST - THURS

- Posted: 10:05am, Thursday 26 March
- Updated: 11:48am, Thursday 26 March

Severe thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon or evening over parts of Sydney Metropolitan, the Illawarra, the Southern and Central Tablelands and the ACT including Canberra, bringing the risk of damaging winds (gusts >90km/h), large hail (diameter >2 cm), and heavy rain leading the flash flooding.

High-end thunderstorms bringing the risk of giant hail (>5cm diameter), destructive winds (gusts > 125km/h), and intense rainfall will be a watch point.

Severe thunderstorms are possible (10-30% chance) about a broader area including the Hunter, the Southwest Slopes, the Snowy Mountains, and the South Coast.

Non-severe thunderstorms are also possible over many areas of the state, extending over the far west and as far north as the Mid-North Coast. Thunderstorms are possible from the late morning and may continue into the night.

This is a forecast only. If severe storms develop, area specific warnings will be issued. If you require emergency help, call the NSW SES on 132 500 and if life-threatening, call 000 (Triple Zero).
