NSW RFS issue emergency warning for Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter and Illawarra Shoalhaven areas

This is a warning from the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.

Catastrophic fire danger is forecast for the Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter and the Illawarra Shoalhaven areas tomorrow, Tuesday.

Catastrophic is the highest level of bush fire danger.

If you are in the path of a fire in these conditions, your life will be at risk.

Avoid bushland areas.

Safer locations may include large centres, such as towns or cities well away from bushland areas.

If you are unable to leave, identify a safer location in case a fire starts. This may include a Neighbourhood Safer Place.

Stay up to date on bush fires in your area by listening to local radio, through the RFS website, through social media and the Fires Near Me NSW app.
