QuestionsBushfires in Australia

Are there bushfires in Australia right now?

At 12:16 AM AEDT, Wednesday 11 November 2026, the NSW Rural Fire Service lists 17 bush or grass fires (10 at Advice); CFA lists 1 vegetation fire in Victoria. This covers NSW and Victoria only.

What do Advice, Watch and Act and Emergency Warning mean?

They are the three levels of the Australian Warning System. Advice (yellow): a fire has started, stay up to date. Watch and Act (orange): conditions are changing and you need to act now to protect yourself and your family. Emergency Warning (red): you are in danger and need to act immediately; follow the instruction to leave or shelter.

What is the difference between a fire warning and a fire danger rating?

A warning is about a fire that is already burning. A fire danger rating — Moderate, High, Extreme or Catastrophic — is a forecast of how dangerous a fire would be if one started, issued for each district every day in the fire season. A Total Fire Ban can be declared on high-risk days.

What this page shows, and what it misses

Bush, grass and scrub fires from the NSW Rural Fire Service's major-incident feed (with Australian Warning System levels) and from CFA's incident feed for Victoria, checked every 10 minutes, worst first. Hazard-reduction burns are counted but not listed; house, car and other non-vegetation fires are left out. Victoria's feed carries no warning level and Fire Rescue Victoria incidents may be missing. Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory are not covered. Always follow the official warning.
