🌡️ Heatwave & High Fire Danger Alert for Parts of NSW 🌡️

The extreme heat is set to continue over the coming days, and it’s important to stay safe.

- Heatwaves can be particularly dangerous for older adults, babies, children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and anyone with medical conditions or feeling unwell.
- High fire danger is also expected, so remain cautious and stay informed about any fire warnings in your area.
- Find a cool spot to relax, like your home, a local library, community centre, or shopping mall.
- To keep your home cooler, close windows and draw blinds or curtains early in the day to block out the heat.
- If you have access to fans or air-conditioning, use them to stay comfortable.

Stay safe, stay cool, and stay alert! 💧☀️🔥
