'Catastrophic' fire risk ahead: NSW

Written By Unknown on Senin, 07 Januari 2013 | 23.23

SEVERE bushfire conditions are predicted to hit NSW on Tuesday, with temperatures set to soar to 43C in Sydney.

The hot and dry conditions have been labelled as "catastrophic" by authorities, with a total fire ban established statewide.

On Monday, teams from the NSW Rural Fire Service fought large blazes at Oura and Shoalhaven, continuing to monitor and contain the fires through the night.

An emergency alert telephone warning message was also launched by the NSW Rural Fire Service, sent to residents in the Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Ranges regions, which are deemed high risk.

Across the state, all national parks and reserves will close on Tuesday due to the fire risk.

On Monday, rangers began visiting popular campsites, encouraging people to leave.

They will continue visiting sites on Tuesday morning, with a National Parks and Wildlife spokesman stating there would be no forced evacuations unless there was a fire emergency.
