The fire risk for today 15th October 2026 is MODERTE

🟢 Plan and prepare 🟢

Fire Danger Ratings give you an indication of the consequences of a fire, if one was to start.

The higher the fire danger rating, the more dangerous the conditions.

You can use the Fire Danger Ratings as a trigger for action in your bush fire survival plan, such as leaving bush fire risk areas on days of Extreme or Catastrophic fire danger.

The fire risk for today 14th October 2026 is MODERATE

🟢 Plan and prepare 🟢

The NSW RFS and NSW Police Force are committed to fighting bush fire arson. Bush fire arson is dangerous. It can destroy lives, properties and have long term effects on the environment.

It is also costly for the community with the loss of properties, cost of firefighting resources and the disruption to businesses.

If you see something that looks out of place, this may be what Police are looking for.

If you can, record the details of vehicles such as the make, model and registration of suspicious vehicles. Also take note of the appearance of anyone acting suspiciously.

Report suspicious behaviour to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

To report a fire emergency call Triple Zero (000).

A well prepared home is more likely to survive a bush fire.
Even if your plan is to leave early, the more you prepare your home, the more likely it will survive a bush fire or ember attack.
