The Lismore City Council, NSW Rural Fire Service and the Northern Rivers
Emergency Operations Centre are working to assist residents affected by the Mt
Nardi fire to return home.
Lismore City Council today conducted impact assessments of certain roads of the
Tuntable area. After consultation with the RFS and Emergency Operations Centre it
is agreed that residents in nominated roads can return home.
The RFS asks residents to be mindful that the Mount Nardi fire remains uncontained
and may flare up again over coming days and weeks. Firefighters will continue to
work establishing and consolidating containment lines, however significant rain will
be required before this fire will be put out.

fall without notice. Monitor conditions and know what you will do if the situation
changes and the fire threatens you and your property again.
