Firefighters from the #RFS and FRNSW, supported by aircraft have contained a bush fire which was burning under high voltage powerlines in the vicinity of Ku-Ring-Gai Chase Rd, Mount Colah.

Thanks to the swift action of firefighters, the fire only burnt through a small stretch of bushland before being contained. Our crews will remain on scene throughout the afternoon, strengthening containment lines and blacking out any hotspots.

A Total Fire Ban will be in place tomorrow, Saturday 10 January, for Greater Sydney, Illawarra Shoalhaven, Far South Coast, Greater Hunter, Monaro Alpine, Southern and Central Ranges and the Southern Slopes. Hot, dry and windy conditions are forecast across much of the state, increasing the fire danger.

Heatwaves, dangerous thunderstorms, Dangerous winds, Extreme Fire Danger for NSW, SA & Vic over next 36 hours

The majority of severe weather will result from the passage of a powerful front, however for South Australia and Victoria on Wednesday, a deepening offshore low has the potential to generate winds equal in strength to a category 2 tropical cyclone.

The low is likely to strengthen further on Wednesday as it passes through Bass Strait, with the central pressure dropping below 985hPa — the equivalent strength of a category 2 tropical cyclone

The unseasonable heat will combine with powerful winds, relatively low humidity, and rapidly drying soils to trigger the first extreme fire dangers of the season around Sydney, the Hunter, Illawarra and parts of the central west.

The risk is further exacerbated by dry lightning which could ignite multiple fires both on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday.
