What starts bush fires? In recent weeks, hundreds of thousands of lightning strikes have struck across NSW. Consequently, RFS crews have been dealing with numerous fires, the majority of which are located in remote and rugged bushland throughout the Hunter and central west regions. When lightning strikes, a quick response can make all the difference. If you see an unattended fire, please call Triple Zero (000). | NSW Rural Fire Service
