Update from the Blue Mountains Fire Control Centre

Posted: 23/11/2009

Update on bushfire activity from the Blue Mountains Fire Control Centre. 8.00pm

 

Section 44 Declared for Blue Mountains/ Lithgow LGA

 

Low cloud and showers have prevented the deployment of crews and aircraft resources today to the sites of bush fire activity which commenced late last week in remote and rugged terrain in the Blue Mountains/Lithgow areas. Resources will be moved to the Lithgow area tomorrow to enable reconnaissance, mopping up and patrol activities planned for today to continue.

 

Although milder weather conditions experienced today and forecast for tomorrow will assist in lessening any risk from bushfire activity, residents are advised to ensure that they and their properties remain prepared. Warmer weather conditions are predicted for Wednesday.

Call 000 for all fire emergencies

Sometimes, when there is a fire, people will try to telephone their local fire station. As most fire stations in the Blue Mountains are manned by either volunteer or part-time firefighters, the stations are unlikely to be manned.
