Grim forecasts lead to total fire ban

THE forecast Fire Danger Rating for tomorrow (December 28) is predicted to be very high, which means if a fire starts it may be uncontrollable and move quickly.

The smoke is on the way back.

And the weather is forecast to be hot, very dry, moderately windy with a predicted temperature of 37C.

Consequently, ACT Emergency Services commissioner Georgeina Whelan has declared a Total Fire Ban for the whole of the ACT tomorrow.

The Bureau of Meteorology also says a smoke haze will remain in the region.
