Smoke Update

Heavy smoke remains settled across the ACT this morning and is expected to stay with us for the coming days.

The orange light that can be seen across the Territory is caused by sunlight coming through heavy smoke particles, and the colour will fade as the sun rises higher in the sky. This is not caused by an nearby fire activity. There are currently no grass or bushfires in the ACT, and no homes are threatened by fires burning in NSW.

The ACT Emergency Services Agency Incident Management Team will continue to monitor fire activity across our region and keep our community well informed.
