🔍 Fire Danger Ratings give you clear actions you can take.
The higher the rating. The more dangerous the conditions will be.

📍 You can use the Fire Danger Ratings as a trigger for action in your bush fire survival plan.

🚒 Now that you should have a plan in place it is time to review for summer what the Fire Danger Ratings are.

Change your clock. Check your smoke alarm.
Today Sunday the 4th of October marks the start of Daylight Saving in NSW. At 2:00am earlier this morning, clocks moved forward 1 hour to 3:00am. Smartphones and computers update automatically, but manual clocks on items like ovens, microwaves, and car radios need to be changed by hand.

With the commencement of Daylight Saving time, it's also a good reminder to check that your smoke alarms are in good working order. Give it a test. It is also a good practice to change the batteries.

🚨 SLOW DOWN. GIVE US ROOM. 🚒

When you see emergency services vehicles and our fire trucks stopped on the road with flashing red or blue lights, please slow down and give our crews plenty of room to work safely.

Under NSW road rules:

🔴🔵 Speed limit 80 km/h or less?
➡️ You must slow down to 40 km/h when passing a stationary emergency vehicle displaying flashing red or blue lights.

🔴🔵 Speed limit over 80 km/h?
➡️ Slow down safely and move over where it is safe to do so.

🚗 Don't speed back up until you have passed the emergency vehicle and the people working around it.

When we're stopped on the side of the road, we're often working close to moving traffic. A few seconds of slowing down can make a huge difference to the safety of our firefighters and other emergency responders.

Please slow down. Give us room. Get everyone home safely. ❤️
Share this message with newer drivers in your family too who might not fully appreciate the risks to us

Today marks the official start of the bush fire season, with the Bush Fire Danger Period beginning in most NSW Local Government Areas.
If you’re planning on conducting a burn, you’ll require a fire permit from your local Fire Control Centre or brigade. Fire permits help ensure fire is used safely and reduces the danger to you, your property and the community.
Residents and land holders must know the rules when it comes to the use of fire. Along with having the required fire permits, you need to notify your local fire authority and neighbours of your intent to burn at least 24 hours in advance.
For more information on the Bush Fire Danger Period and requirements around safe burning, visit our website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/BFDP
