The NSW Rural Fire Service will be conducting multiple hazard reduction burns around the village of Tingha this week as part of ongoing work to reduce bush fire risk and better protect the Tingha community ahead of the coming fire season.
RFS crews will be onsite each day, with burning activities subject to suitable weather and operational conditions.
Residents may notice smoke in and around Tingha throughout the week and to help reduce smoke impacts, residents are encouraged to keep doors and windows closed, remove washing from outdoor clotheslines, keep pets in a protected area where possible and if driving through smoke, slow down, switch on headlights and follow directions from crews.
People with asthma or respiratory conditions should take additional precautions and follow their health management plans.
