Thanks Ember The Crisis Response Dog for dropping by and saying “hurro” at #NSWRFS HQ. Ember is a peer support dog with @CFA_Updates and she’s brought lots of smiles and been spoilt with loads of pats and treats! #nswfires – at Sydney, New South Wales

So far this season 1,687 homes have destroyed & more than 21,000 buildings saved. Since 1 Jan, 771 homes lost. This figure is likely to increase. It will take time for teams to work through these areas due to limited access on isolated roads and villages. #nswrfs #nswfires

Very windy and dry conditions will see elevated fire dangers across parts of NSW today. 3 areas under a Total Fire Ban including the Greater Hunter, New England and Far North Coast. Know what you and your family will do if fire threatens and report all unattended fires to 000.

Smoke currently being experienced across Sydney, Hunter & Illawarra has drifted south from large fires burning in northern NSW, not from hazard reduction burns. The smoke will likely persist for several days & may not clear until some stage over the weekend. #NSWRFS #NSWFIRES

With the return of the hot weather to #NSW this week we're also seeing a significant increase in the risk of #thunderstorms. The state may see increased storm activity particularly from early Wednesday afternoon. Watch for warnings ow.ly/XB6150khiSi
