A statewide total fire ban is now in force. That means no fires out in the open anywhere in NSW, for all of Monday 11/11/2019 and Tuesday 12/11/2019.

Very dangerous fire conditions are forecast for Tuesday. Catastrophic fire danger is expected in Sydney and the Hunter. Avoid bush fire prone areas.

Severe and Extreme fire danger is forecast for many areas, including the north coast where there's already a significant number of fires burning. Under tomorrow's weather conditions, these fires will spread quickly and threaten lives and properties.

Use today to get ready and know what you will do to reduce your risk.
