Nimbin Fire Update 6th December 7 pm
From Nimbin Rural Fire Brigade
Thank you to local residents and Tuntable Defenders working above the Falls today. Nimbin RFB requested RFS/ NPWS Aviation to inspect two plumes of smoke along the east-west ridge north of Mt Nardi. The hotspots were observed to be in black ground, on the north face and generating a large volume of smoke.
This afternoon’s northeasterly wind change is pushing this smoke and possibly fire back towards the ridge line. The site is inaccessible at this time. Local brigades and National Parks staff will investigate this further tomorrow. There is no immediate threat to lives and property.
No doubt many have noticed the thick smoke being carried eastward to us from the Bangala Creek Fire at Paddy’s Flat. Firefighting resources were being responded this afternoon to property protection as the community there received an Emergency Warning to seek shelter. This fire is burning towards the areas of Bonalbo, Old Bonalbo, Duck Creek and Bottle Creek with spot fires are starting ahead of the main fire front.
Tomorrow will be a day of Very High fire danger for Northern Rivers. We expect to see continued fire activity around Nimbin. Brigade are thankful to those who are both assisting with information and working to mitigate the risk of fire around their homes & that of their neighbours.
