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).
