Snowy Mountains fire at emergency level

An emergency warning has been put in place for the Adaminaby Complex fire burning in Snowy Mountains.

Fire activity is increasing and strong north-westerly winds are pushing the fire quickly towards the area of Adaminaby.

The NSW RFS says the fire may reach the Adaminaby area on Thursday afternoon.

Areas that may come under threat include Shannons Flat, Ashvale, Anglers Reach, Old Adaminaby and Bobeyan Road.

If you are in this area seek shelter as the fire front approaches.

The fire has burnt 93,650 hectares.

The Clyde Mountain fire was upgraded to emergency shortly after midday.

This fire is listed as being controlled but despite recent rainfall, dry and windy conditions are likely to lead to an increase in fire activity.
