NSW Fire Hazard

Are the mates in NSW all good and safe? Just read up about fire hazard there.

California is also in same season of fire hazard. So far, this year is "knock on wood" a bit less.

I'm in suburbia with a small bushland about 800 metres away so should be no problems.

Nasty, we see the NSW fire haze when it's not raining here.

Central Otago is also burning 5x faster than usual but the intensity is not as bad as the one in NSW. The photo is from Reddit.

Kia kaha, mates in OZ and the South Island!
