RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons urges NSW motorists to reevaluate their travel plans

December 20, 2019. RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons speaks to the media in Sydney and says there are more than 100 fires burning across NSW and half of them are not contained. The Green Wattle Creek fire is burning at Emergency Warning alert level. The Gospers Mountain fire and the Kerry Ridge fire are both burning at Watch and Act alert level. "My advice is, I would avoid travelling down the Princes Highway tomorrow. It is most likely that a number of fires are going to impact the Princes Highway," he says. "The last thing we want is people blocked and trapped on the highways if we've got fires burning in a strong westerly wind condition, spreading to the east across that highway."
