Illawarra Bush Fire Danger Period set to end

The NSW RFS is advising that the Bush Fire Danger Period will wind up at midnight on 31 March 2026 for most of NSW, including Kiama, Shellharbour, and Wollongong.

We’re being reminded, that as the Bush Fire Danger Period ends, fire agencies and land managers, will begin increasing hazard reduction activities where conditions allow.

This work includes planned burns aimed at reducing vegetation and lowering the risk of future bush fires.
