Prepare. Act. Survive - NSW bush fire season starts

The NSW bush fire season has started. A new Fire Danger Rating system and new bush fire alert messages have been created to help people make safe and informed decisions in the event of a fire.

When a Fire Danger Rating or fire alert message is advised, you need to take it seriously and be prepared to act.

To assist you in your preparation for the bush fire season, the NSW Rural Fire Service encourages you to prepare a Bush Fire Survival Plan.
