Almost the entire state is now officially in Bush Fire Danger Period.
The RFS made the declaration Monday, effective midnight last night.
Anyone wanting to light a fire almost anywhere in NSW, including across the Northern Rivers, will need a permit until further notice.
Eight local government areas are yet to enter the official BFDP: Albury, Berrigan, Federation, Greater Hume, Coolamon, Junee, Lockhart and Wagga Wagga.
Residents in those regions will face fire restrictions from 14 October.

But where there is no bush there are no bushfires, such as in the CBD of Sydney
Do you remember 1994 fires throughout Sydney? Yes, Sydney can burn also.
