The NSW RFS source feed includes fires, planned burns, emergency responses, and other incidents. Use the source incident notice to identify the event type, current status, responsible agency, boundary, and instructions because those details can change quickly.

A grass fire burns grassland or crop stubble rather than forest, and can spread faster than a bushfire in dry, windy conditions even though it usually covers a smaller area. Grass Fire records make up 33% of the 3,622 NSW RFS incident notices Areazine has archived (1,202 of them).

Record status: publication date is recent, but current status is not stored on this page. Check the issuing agency's live warning service before acting because warnings can be updated, narrowed, or cancelled.
