The fire season here runs from spring into early autumn, with the worst days driven by hot north-westerly wind ahead of a southerly change. Fire and emergency response here is led by NSW Rural Fire Service. The higher-risk fire period across New South Wales is typically spring to early autumn (about October to March), though fires can start at any time.
