Bush fire season officially begins on 1 October across Lake Macquarie and residents are being urged to prepare early ahead of a warm spring and summer. Hot, dry and windy conditions have already led to a number of fires across the state this week, with the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSWRFS) responding to more than 70 incidents including blazes at Pelican and Eraring. Senior Bush Fire Officer Craig Holland said Council was working with NSWRFS and Fire and Rescue NSW on hazard reduction across Lake Macquarie ahead of the high-risk period.
