The ban starts at midnight tonight and covers five regions across the state.
The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) advises:
- Well prepared homes that are actively defended can provide safety during a fire;
- Follow your bushfire survival plan and remain vigilant;
- Keep informed by listening to local radio, watching television news broadcasts and monitoring rfs.nsw.gov.au.
No fires are permitted to be lit in the open.
And all fire permits are suspended during a total fire ban.
Gas and electric barbecues may be used provided certain conditions are met.
