🔥 RFS Conducts Planned Burn in Orchard Hills
Fire Service | Not Applicable
Planned Burn at Defence Establishment
The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) has recently completed a planned burn at the Defence Establishment on The Northern Road in Orchard Hills. An incident report updated on June 17th, 2025, at 09:54 confirmed the event was a planned event with no fire reported, covering an area of 0 hectares.
This follows a previous RFS report on June 16th, 2025, detailing the planned burn. The RFS regularly undertakes these controlled burns to minimise bushfire risk by reducing fuel loads, particularly in the lead-up to warmer months.
Residents of Orchard Hills may have noticed smoke in the area during the operation. The RFS ensures these burns are carefully planned and executed to protect both firefighters and the local community.
