Hello all, Sydney could be a little bit smokey this weekend. If that's the case, Don't panic. It's probably one of the 35 hazard reduction burns that the RFS has planned for the weekend.
"If weather conditions allow, Sydney can expect to see a lot of smoke this weekend, with a massive hazard reduction program of some 35 burns planned to reduce fuel over 3400ha. Hundreds of NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteers are preparing drip torches and firefighting equipment in order to reduce bushfire fuels in Baulkham Hills, Gosford, Hawkesbury, Sutherland, Warringah Pittwater, Wingecarribee and Wyong.
Roads and traffic will be affected by tanker activity and smoke in Sydney over the weekend.
Lane closures to major roads, particularly in Warringah Pittwater, will be managed by professional traffic companies to ensure public safety and minimal disruption. In the Warringah area, traffic lanes will be closed on Mona Vale Rd, Lane Cove Rd, Warringah Rd and McCarrs Ck Rd."
More information and the locations of these burns can be found right here. To any other RFS people out there, Stay safe and maybe I'll see you on the fireline!
