Residents along the Georges River will continue to see and smell smoke as Firefighters undertake the Berties Hazard Reduction East of the Campbelltown area.
Crews will continue to be onsite for the next few days

If there is a hazard reduction burn planned for your area, take the following steps:

Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering homes
Keep outdoor furniture under cover to prevent ember burns
Retract pool covers to prevent ember damage
Remove washing from clotheslines
Ensure pets have a protected area
Vehicles must slow down, keep windows up, turn headlights on
Sightseers must keep away from burns for their own safety
If you have asthma or a lung condition, reduce outdoor activities if smoke levels are high and if shortness of breath or coughing develops, take your reliever medicine or seek medical advice
For health information relating to smoke from bush fires and hazard reduction burning, visit the NSW Health website or Asthma Australia.

Residents across the Cumberland/Macarthur District, including Campbelltown, Liverpool, Camden, Blacktown, Penrith and Fairfield, will have noticed smoke haze and the smell of smoke today.

The smoke is drifting into the Sydney basin due to southerly winds carrying smoke from bushfires currently burning in Victoria.

This photo was taken near Kentlyn where visibility was reported to be as low as 150m in low-lying areas of Campbelltown.

Only call 000 if you see an unattended fire, flames, or an immediate threat to life or property.

Smoke safety tips:
- Keep windows and doors closed
- Avoid outdoor activities if smoke is causing irritation
- Use air conditioning on recirculate
- Those with asthma or other respiratory conditions should follow their health management plans
- If symptoms such as severe shortness of breath occur, seek medical advice

NSW RFS continues to monitor conditions closely. We appreciate the community’s cooperation in helping keep emergency lines available for genuine emergencies.
