Catastrophic fire danger is forecast for the Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter, Illawarra and Shoalhaven areas on Tuesday 12 November 2019, due to worsening weather conditions.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High temperatures, strong winds and low humidity are forecast, making conditions extremely dangerous.

Catastrophic is the highest level of bush fire danger. Homes are not designed to withstand a fire under these conditions. This is the first time since new Fire Danger Ratings were introduced in 2009 that Catastrophic fire danger has been forecast for Greater Sydney (including the blue mountains). A state-wide total fire ban has been declared for all NSW for Monday and Tuesday.

If you are in the path of a fire in these conditions, your life will be at risk. Evacuate if possible. Avoid bushland areas. Safer locations may include large centres, such as towns or cities well away from bushland areas. If you are unable to leave, identify a safer location in case a fire starts. This may include a Neighbourhood Safer Place.

Vintage FM will be providing on-air updates and information on bushfires in Sydney\u2019s West over the next few days. Information and updates can also be found on the RFS website, through social media and the Fires Near Me NSW app. Keep your devices charged in case of a power outage so you can stay up to date with all the latest information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on latest forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology, the following fire danger ratings are expected on Tuesday. These are subject to change as forecasts are updated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
