The Hunter Valley District's Bush Fire Danger Period has been extended until April 30 due to ongoing dry conditions.
The extension was ordered by the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), and will mean those wanting to light a fire will still require a fire permit.after the usual cutoff date of March 31st.
The RFS advises the extension only applies to those in the Singleton and Muswellbrook Local Government Areas.
Anyone requiring a fire permit can go to their local fire station or NSW RFS Fire Control Centre to apply for one.
