NSW RFS - Windeyer Brigade

19/05/2026

No injuries. Just be careful roads are very slippery.

22/04/2026

This includes Windeyer. So to cut thru all the jargon etc. We are currently due to lack of rain and many other factors. The potential should a fire start for what ever reason may impact on us. So please think about any decisions where fire is involved.

🚨 Updated Bush Fire Prone Land Map – Mullamuddy Area 🚨

Mid-Western Regional Council has released an updated Bush Fire Prone Land Map, now in effect.

The area outlined shows roughly the Mullamuddy Brigade area, and as you can see, most of our bridge area is now classified as bush fire prone.

👉 What’s changed?
The main update is the inclusion of grassland areas (Category 3), meaning farmland and open country are now recognised as part of the bush fire risk.

👉 What this means:
• This does NOT mean the risk has suddenly increased
• There are no new rules or laws introduced
• It mainly affects planning and development

👉 What it’s really about:
This mapping is about better identifying where fire can spread, helping landowners and agencies understand risk and plan ahead.

Grass fires, in particular, can move quickly under the right conditions. Something we’re all familiar with around our district.

Even though we’re coming to the end of the bush fire danger period, it’s still a good reminder to:
✔️ Know your risk
✔️ Maintain your property
✔️ Have a plan

For most people, nothing changes day to day, but being prepared always matters!

A Total Fire Ban (TOBAN) is in place from midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow night.

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.

With lightning ⚡️ across the district yesterday and more predicted for this afternoon, landowners need to check their properties.

A change this afternoon will thankfully bring a reprieve from the heat we’ve been experiencing but higher winds and lower humidity will push the fire danger rating into Extreme 🟧.

For more information on all the Total Fire Ban rules, visit the RFS website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fdr

Know your fire risk and what you will do if fire threatens. Report all unattended fires to Triple Zero (000).

Please do not undertake 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.
