The 2019-2020 Bush Fire Danger Period was brought forward to September 1 for the Cudgegong RFS District, which covers the council area. And following a spate of burns getting out of control, permits are suspended indefinitely although a number of illegal fires have occurred in the dry conditions.
Locals can get involved on Saturday and Sunday in fun family events including children's activities, firefighting displays, opportunities to get aboard a fire truck, and see some of their specialist equipment. Importantly you can also get some information and advice on preparing their properties for the bush fire season.
