Residents in parts of Tyagarah in the Byron Shire are once again being asked to remain alert and monitor conditions as the Bayshore Drive bushfire flares up again.

A combination of strongly gusting northerly winds and hot dry conditions has caused what was a smouldering fire to worsen.
An alert from the NSW Rural Fire Service’s Far North Coast team says that fire activity has increased in the Grays Lane and Buckleys Lane areas.
‘Firefighters are on scene and residents should review their bushfire survival plan,’ the warning states.
