Tonight we have been called to another suspicious fire.

This is very concerning to us as we potentially move into a warm dry winter.

The fuel is thick through our surrounding bushland and given the right weather it could spread fast.

Please be vigilant and contact 000 if you see anything suspicious.

We've had calls to camp fires in the bush along Shearer Ave over the couple of days.

Information was provided by bystanders that children are lighting these fires while riding on the tracks.

Even though we've seen rain over the week, the bush is really dry and tea tree burns easily.

Fire safety concerns us all.

In order for us to keep our community safe, we need the support of everyone to have conversations about the use of fire in our bush areas.

The cubby house is really cool and we love to see the children in the community enjoying the bushland.

We ask that they do it safely, without introducing the danger of fire.

Our crews are doing hydrant checks and maintenance in the local area.Come and say hi if you see us.

The Official Bush Fire Danger Period will conclude at midnight tomorrow (31 March 2026) for the Wingecarribee Shire Council and Wollondilly Shire Council LGA's.

From today, Wednesday 1 April, fire permits will no longer be required for residents, except those properties within the town limits of Warragamba, Picton, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Bowral and Bundanoon, who are required to obtain a fire permit from Fire & Rescue NSW all year round.

Even though a fire permit is no longer required, you must still notify your neighbours and the local fire authority 24 hours before burning as well as comply with any Council Backyard Burning Policies.

Before lighting up, you should also check the forecast weather conditions and have sufficient equipment on hand to control and contain the fire to your own property. Failure to notify neighbours or the RFS, or allowing a fire to escape can result in significant fines.

To notify of your intent to burn, use the online burn notification tool at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify or call your local Fire Control Centre during business hours.
