A Total Fire Ban will be in place tomorrow, Monday 12 October 2026, for the Greater Sydney area with forecast Extreme fire danger and the Greater Hunter area with forecast High fire danger. Warm and windy conditions are forecast across parts of the state, increasing the fire danger.

Take action now. Know your fire risk and what you will do if fire threatens. Report all unattended fires to Triple Zero (000).

In an emergency, every second counts.

Make sure your property entrance is clearly signed, easy to identify from the road, and fitted with visible property numbers at the main gate or fence line.

This is especially important in rural and semi-rural areas where properties can be difficult to locate at night, in smoke, or during fast moving bush fires.

Clear property identification helps firefighters reach you faster when it matters most.

Take a few minutes to check your signage and ensure your property can be easily identified in an emergency. It could save valuable time when help is on the way.

🔥 BUSH FIRE DANGER PERIOD STARTS TOMORROW

Tomorrow, 1 October, marks the beginning of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period.

From tomorrow, you will need a fire permit before conducting a pile burn or other burn-off on your property.

Fire permits are free. For information on how to apply, visit:
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/know-your-risk/Bush-fire-hazards-and-your-property/fire-permits

Alternatively, contact Hawkesbury Fire Control Centre on 02 4560 6400.

Before burning, check the conditions of your permit and notify your neighbours, Hawkesbury Council and the RFS at least 24 hours beforehand. Fire permits are automatically suspended during Total Fire Bans.

Could a fire truck access your home in an emergency?

When bush fires occur, firefighters need safe and reliable access to your property.

Truck sizes can vary, but a good consideration is our Cat 1 tanker which can be up to 7.8 metres long, 2.5 metres wide, and require a turning circle of approximately 22 metres. Overgrown vegetation, narrow access tracks, low branches, soft ground, or locked gates can delay emergency response and place crews at risk.

Inspect your property access before fire season and ensure emergency vehicles can enter and exit safely. Good access helps firefighters protect your home, your family, and your community. The NSW Rural Fire Service recommends property access tracks and driveways have:
• A minimum width of 3.5 metres.
• A vertical clearance of 4 metres from overhanging branches or structures.
• Adequate turning space for large fire appliances.
• All weather surfaces capable of supporting heavy vehicles.
• Clearly accessible gates and entrances.

Clear access can help emergency services reach your property quickly when it matters.

Welding, grinding and other hot works can quickly cause bush and grass fires. Activities such as welding, grinding and cutting metal can throw sparks several metres and ignite dry grass, paddocks or bushland, even when conditions don’t seem extreme. If you’re planning hot works on your property:
• Check your local Fire Danger Rating and under no circumstances undertake any works on a day with a total fire ban.
• Check the weather and avoid working on hot, dry or windy days.
• Clear dry grass and leaves from the work area.
• Keep water, a fire extinguisher or knapsack close by.
• Never leave hot works unattended.
• Monitor the area for at least 30 minutes after finishing.

Hot works should be postponed if it’s not safe to proceed. One spark is all it takes to start a fast moving fire. For more advice on fire safety and property preparedness, visit the NSW RFS website or contact your local brigade.

During a bush fire, power outages and communications disruptions can affect how you receive emergency information. Don’t rely on just one source.

Stay informed by:
• Downloading the Hazards Near Me app.
• Listening to local radio, including ABC Radio.
• Checking the NSW RFS website.
• Calling the Bush Fire Information Line on 1800 NSW RFS (1800 679 737).
