No Total Fire Ban in place but a reminder that 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐒 remain 𝐒𝐔𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 until further notice.

Please be so mindful of understanding any activities outside that may spark a fire. It is so dry and hot that it doesn’t take much for a fire to start and threaten life and property quickly.

If you start a fire, you may be found liable for any damages. Please don’t be the fire risk in your community.

Stay up to date with details on any current or new fires on the Hazards Near Me App or the website www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fnm

Call Triple Zero (000) if you see an unattended fire.

Today, AFAC News released the Bushfire Seasonal Outlook for Summer. Northern and Central parts of NSW are carrying high grass fuel loads and are entering summer drier than normal, with no clear indication of increased rainfall to ease conditions.

These areas are likely to face an increased risk of fast-moving, intense grass and forest fires. In central and southern NSW, ongoing dry conditions on the western slopes of the ranges have led to significant underlying dryness in some forested areas. If rain continues to miss these areas, the risk of difficult-to-control fires will increase through summer.

If you live, work, or travel through bush fire-prone areas, ensure you are prepared. Review and discuss your bush fire survival plan so you know what to do if threatened by fires.

✅ A Total Fire Ban helps limit the potential of fires developing. 🤞🤞🤞

🚫 During a Total Fire Ban you cannot light, maintain or use a fire in the open, or to carry out any activity in the open that causes, or is likely to cause, a fire.
🚫 General purpose hot works (such as welding, grinding or gas cutting or any activity that produces a spark or flame) are not to be done in the open.

The NSW RFS strongly recommends you reconsider activities such as such using a tractor or slashing, to help reduce the chance of a fire starting on your property.

✅ Electric and gas barbeques can be used but rules apply.

🚫 Barbeques that use solid fuel like charcoal, heat beads or wood cannot be used.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 11 November 2025.

Permits are suspended from midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow night within the Mid-Western Regional Council area.

Across the Central Ranges, the overall Fire Danger Rating is HIGH but locally it is forecast that we will move into 𝑬𝑿𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑬 Fire Danger during parts of the day.

Winds are expected to be from the west 20-50km/h.

𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗗𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘

Firefighters with the assistance of aircraft and heavy plant have done an incredible job of implementing a containment strategy around this fire.
Predicted weather tomorrow is a concern and will put pressure on these containment lines. If these close containment lines do not hold, fall back strategies are in place.
There is still no immediate danger but residents to the east of this fire should stay up to date in case the situation changes.

Everyone should prepare for the event of a bush fire:
✅ Have a bush fire survival plan
✅ Know your risk and stay up to date
✅ Prepare your home and your family
