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 3,453 NSW RFS incident notices Areazine has archived (1,151 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.
