Smoke in the ACT

The ACT Emergency Services Agency would like to reassure the community that the visible smoke across Canberra is from bushfires burning in NSW.

Canberrans are reminded to please call Triple Zero (000) if you see an unattended fire (notably a visible flame or distinct column of smoke), not just because you see or smell smoke. Clear details of the location of the fire will also help us attend to it quickly.
