NSW Rural Fire Service will undertake a hazard reduction burn off Osland Road, Freemans Waterhole on Wednesday 30 August, from 9.30am to 5pm.
If weather conditions become unfavourable on the scheduled burn day, the hazard reduction burn will be postponed until conditions become more suitable.
Residents near the burn should:
- Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke from entering homes and keep outdoors furniture under cover to prevent ember burns.
- Ensure pets have a protected area, retract pool covers to prevent ember damage and remove washing from clotheslines.
- If you are driving a vehicle, slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on.
- 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.
