23.01.2022 Today marks the official end to the quietest fire season in more than a decade, a welcome and stark contrast to last year. This season, NSW RFS members have responded to just over 5,500 bush and grass fires that have burnt 30,963 hectares across NSW, considerably less than the 11,400 fires and 5.5 million hectares lost last season. Thank you to our incredible members who continuously step up to help when called upon, protecting communities across the state

01.01.2022 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST... Severe Weather Warning for HEAVY RAINFALL For people in North West Slopes and Plains and parts of Mid North Coast, Hunter, Central Tablelands, Central West Slopes and Plains, Upper Western and Northern Tablelands Forecast Districts. Issued at 11:28 am Sunday, 20 December 2020. WIDESPREAD RAIN DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHERN NSW ON MONDAY A slow moving trough over northern New South Wales will interact with increasing tropical humidity to bring widespread rain to northern parts of the state on Monday. A transient low pressure system may develop within this trough on Tuesday, but the system will weaken and move away to the east by the evening. HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING and RIVERINE FLOODING is expected to develop across the Northwest Slopes and Plains and parts of the Central West Slopes and Plains and Upper Western forecast districts from later Monday morning. Rainfall will increase and spread east, reaching the Hunter, during Monday afternoon and evening. Conditions are currently forecast to ease during Tuesday morning or early afternoon. Embedded thunderstorms may locally enhance rainfall rates, leading to intense rainfall and potentially life threatening flash flooding. Further river rises are likely, and a Flood Watch is current for several river catchments. For more information see www.bom.gov.au/nsw/warnings. Locations which may be affected include Tamworth, Gunnedah, Narrabri, Walgett, Lightning Ridge, Scone, Coonabarabran and Maitland. The State Emergency Service advises that people should: * Don't drive, ride or walk through flood water. * Keep clear of creeks and storm drains. * If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue. * Be aware that run-off from rainfall in fire affected areas may behave differently and be more rapid. It may also contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. * After bushfires, heavy rain and the loss of foliage can make the ground soft and heavy, leading to a greater chance of landslides. * Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires. * For emergency help in floods and storms, ring your local SES Unit on 132 500. The next Severe Weather Warning will be issued by 5:00 pm AEDT Sunday. Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 210. The Bureau and State Emergency Service would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.
