This time of year with hot weather we are normally blessing the afternoon easterly, for the poor residents around this Good Good fire it is causing so many issues.

We are expecting a similar update please for the Numeralla fire please - the Fires Near Me App has been updated with this information.
The Good Good fire has been upgraded to a Watch and Act level due to increased fire activity this afternoon.
Stay up to date on bush fires in your area by checking the NSW RFS website - www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/, listening to your local radio station, or by calling the NSW RFS Bush Fire Information Line on 1800 679 737.
Easterly has arrived, smoke has filled the village and we now can't see the fire front. People are sitting at home and wondering in our Watch & Act status where the threat is. The Fires Near Me App says Jerangle Road. Please update the circular ASAP for Numeralla residents, and update the Fires Near Me App with More Information.
Can we have an update please on the Fires Near Me App - since going to Watch & Act. I notice on the Creewah Fire there is more information, please provide the community with the active fire front information and which properties are under threat. We can see a lot of smoke, and some landmarks or useful information would be gratefully received. PLEASE
Please add updated circular on the Fires Near Me App please Monaro Team
Bungarby has suddenly been inundated with smoke. Where is this coming from please.
Latest Information on Good Good Fire Monaro RFS
I’m pretty sure everyone is doing the very best they can & then they go do some more. With the erratic weather conditions that we experienced yesterday & the tragic loss of the crew & plane there may not have been the time or resources. This fire is horrendous & has been ongoing for some time...maybe leaving your daughter at home alone was not the best choice BUT luckily those dedicated firies went out & got your daughter who was left home alone.
I must say that it is disappointing that we are sent to the website for first call information but it is well behind here. Not everyone knows about looking here, splitting resources could be dangerous. I know that people are exhausted but the approved website should get updated first.
PLEASE add these circulars to the Fires Near Me App as "More Information" link. It would be beneficial for all community members out here to know when we go to Watch and Act - where in the massive fire that is Good Good, residents need to be Alert - give us an address or a landmark so we know where the fire front is up to please.
Guys we have snowy mountain fires all around us and will probably for months.. go to weather everyday check direction and strength of wind.. check fires near me and make your own calculated estimate of potential dangers daily
Please keep the information update here and on fires near me. It was disappointing to see that properties were impacted yesterday and yet we never got to an emergency alert level. People need to be alerted when the fire activity increases.
Now that the fire has gone to Watch and Act - will this information be updated?
Was any property lost on Countergany rd?
