| Bushfire Season 2003: NSW Statewide Fire Update Friday 31
Friday, January 31 @ 09:20:43 EST
by brett |
The skills of NSW’s firefighters were proven
yesterday with no major property losses reported despite atrocious fire weather
which included 40 degree heat and winds gusting around 80kph.
Assessments of property loss continue in the Jindabyne area, however, no
confirmed losses have been recorded so far.
Extreme fire danger weather caused fires in NSW’s southeast to break containment
lines and threaten communities and new outbreaks in the Blue Mountains and
Gosford to concern homes also.
Those threats have eased today with milder temperatures and lighter wind
conditions being experienced across most firegrounds.

| Bushfire Season 2003: NSW Statewide Fire Update
Thursday, January 30 @ 17:40:16 EST

More than 2000 firefighting personnel are
combatting extreme bushfire weather conditions which are threatening containment
lines and have the potential to impact upon property.
Weather earlier this week offered temporary respite with fire activity generally
moderate. This respite was used to conduct backburning, trail clearing and
property protection measures across firegrounds in NSW.
Particular attention is being paid to fires in southeastern NSW in the
Kosciuszko National Park and the Yarrowlumla complex. Over 500,000ha has been
consumed by these fires since January 8 when they started by lightning strike.
Many of these fires remain uncontained and some are running heavily under
forecasted conditions.
Total Fire Bans have been declared for the entire state.
