Bush fires
In a bush fire emergency, NSW Department of Primary Industries supports the NSW Rural Fire Service to:
- Assist primary producers, animal holding establishments and the community to be prepared for bush fires
- Coordinate rescue, evacuation and emergency care for animals
- Coordinate assessment, humane destruction and disposal of affected animals
- Support recovery arrangements including providing impact damage assessments and contributing to recovery centres and committees
Being prepared is a key to minimising the impacts of fire on your property, your family and your animals.
