🔥 High Fire Danger Today – Stay Alert 🔥

Today is a High Fire Danger Day across the Lake George District.

🚫 Fire Permits have been suspended.

⚡ Overnight lightning has already caused one ignition – it was quickly contained by our crews.

With hot, dry, and windy conditions forecast, fires will start easily and spread quickly. Now is the time to act.

📌 What you need to do:
✅ Check your bush fire survival plan – if you don’t have one, make one now.
✅ Keep up to date on conditions via Hazards Near Me or going to www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
✅ Avoid activities that could start a fire (e.g. welding, grinding, slashing).

If you see smoke or fire, report it immediately via Triple Zero (000).

Let’s work together to stay safe.
