The statutory bushfire danger period in the Shoalhaven has come to end on the 31st March.

Landowners in Rural Fire District who undertake vegetation pile burns after this date do not require a fire safety permit - however you still have an obligation to notify the RFS and your neighbours at least 24 hours before you commence burning.

Don’t forget to check the weather forecast; bush and grass fires still occur in Autumn and Winter if conditions are conducive to the ignition and spread of fire.

This morning, Cambewarra was called to a persons trapped MVA on Hughes Road, Illaroo. Thankfully when we arrived, that was not the case. The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was able to climb out of the car and after a quick assessment by ambulance crews, there was no need to be transported to Hospital.
A really good outcome and once the vehicle was loaded onto a tow truck, we departed scene for the station.

BUSHFIRE SMOKE | Smoke generated by several bushfires in Victoria and north of Sydney is affecting coastal areas including the Shoalhaven.

A convergence of south west and north easterly winds is pushing smoke into our area; there are no bushfires burning within the Shoalhaven.

It’s likely that smoke will linger for a few days. Please only call triple zero ‘000’ if you see a fire.
