Hazard reduction burn

Published on 10 April 2025

NSW Rural Fire Service will be carrying out a hazard reduction burn on Delta Electricity land this Saturday, 12 April 2025 from 9.30am to 7pm, weather permitting.

The Delta Management Area F HR is located to the east of Bukkai Road, Wyee and north of Wyee Rd, Wyee, and is 10.6 hectares in size.

This activity will consist of prescribed burning of vegetation to reduce the bush fire fuel and assist in reducing the intensity and adverse impact of bush fires in extreme weather conditions. 

Residents near the burn should:

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

You can also obtain additional information on prescribed burning and property preparedness by accessing the NSW Rural Fire Service website at rfs.nsw.gov.au.

If weather conditions become unfavourable, the burn will be postponed.
