24.01.2022 NSW RFS crews along with crews from NSW National Parks and Forestry Corporation continue to work the Valley Valley Trail Fire to the west of Valla. Steep terrai...n and windy conditions have moved this fire into inaccessible areas making it difficult for firefighters to extinguish. Over the coming days crews will be supported by machinery to establish controls line around the fire. Water bucketing helicopters are also assisting with slowly the progression of the fire to allow containment lines to be established. At this stage there is no threats to properties and the fire remains at advice level. https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au See more
