Smoke from this hazard reduction may be visible throughout the weekend.
Please only call Triple Zero if you see an unattended fire.Firefighters will be taking advantage of cooler conditions this evening to undertake a hazard reduction burn near Smeeton Rd and Londonderry Rd, Londonderry. (Penrith LGA).
Smoke from the burn is likely to settle in areas close to the burn however may also impact a broader area of western Sydney overnight. This smoke is forecast to clear tomorrow as the day warms up.
Please only call Triple Zero if you see an unattended fire, not just because you can see or smell smoke.
For more information, including a list and map of planned burns visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/HR

Did you know that the Fires Near Me app will now be known as 'Hazards Near Me' and will include flood information and warnings from the NSW SES?
Hazards Near Me compliments the suite of information tools already available to the public, including the RFS website, 1800 Bush Fire Information Line and social media channels. Over time, more hazards and additional features will be added to the app.
If you already have Fires Near Me on your phone, you can update it through your App Store or Google Play. If you don’t have Fires Near Me, just search for ‘Hazards Near Me’ in your app store.

Does anyone remember this? It’s been hanging up in one of our vehicle bays for a long time and there was no question about us keeping it to mount again after the station upgrade.
We love reading the comments made by so many residents over 20 years ago and would love to hear from anyone who remembers writing on this!
