The RFS will be carrying out important hazard reduction works in the Central Coast area from Tuesday 1 August.

Hazard reduction burns are scheduled for Wyee Road, Morisset on Saturday 5 August, between 9am and 7pm (weather permitting).

As the prescribed burn will generate smoke, hot embers and heat, it is important that you consider the following:

  • Keep doors and windows closed to prevent smoke entering homes
  • Keep outdoor furniture under cover to prevent ember burns

  • Retract pool covers to prevent ember damage

  • Remove washing from clotheslines

  • Ensure pets have a protected area

  • If you are driving a vehicle, slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on

  • If you have asthma or a lung condition, reduce outdoor activities. If smoke levels are high and if shortness of breath or coughing develops, take your reliever medicine or seek medical advice
