Original story
The Mt Nardi fire has now spread over 2,200ha and has reached the upper regions of Huonbrook and Upper Wilsons Creek.
‘Currently the alert is “Watch and Act”,’ Rural Fire Service operations officer, Aaron Howard, told Echonetdaily.
If you are in the area of Terania Creek, Tuntable Creek and Huonbrook in the vicinity of McPhails Road, monitor conditions.
‘The fire is currently still in national park in inaccessible country.
‘People need to be prepared. There is no current alert to evacuate or relocate but if people are planning to stay then they need to be very well prepared as a lot of the properties are in thick vegetation and will be difficult to defend.’
There are currently no containment plan in place. Aviation resources have been used to monitor the fire however, Mr Howard said with all the fires in NSW they are stretched very thin.
‘Aviation air support is primarily use to protect property,’ he said.
A total fire ban remains in place for the far north coast.
