The NSW Rural Fire Service has announced that the Fire Danger Rating for the Greater Sydney region is HIGH for tomorrow, Sunday, 3 November, due to a predicted heightened fire risk.

This means permits to burn are suspended until further notice.

A great chunk of the state is also on a HIGH rating. These include Far Western, North Western, Upper Central West Plains, Lower Central West Plains, Northern Riverina, Southern Riverina, Eastern Riverina, Southern Ranges, Illawarra/Shoalhaven, and Monaro Alpine.

The RFS shares what to do during a HIGH Fire Danger Rating:

  • Be ready to act.
  • There’s a heightened risk. Be alert for fires in your area.
  • Decide what you will do if a fire starts.
  • If a fire starts, your life and property may be at risk. The safest option is to avoid bushfire risk areas.
