Doing the socially responsible thing last night - to #stayhome - we had a virtual BBQ with our members and their families! Was a great opportunity to catch up, check-in with everyone and ensure we're all doing ok! #nswrfs

Heavy smoke will remain over Sydney tonight. A temperature inversion means the smoke will settle and be very thick in the morning too. Take precautions to limit your exposure to smoke. #nswrfs #nswfires
