As our photos show, smoke and smaller fires can still be seen in Bombala, but the situation has eased. The Monaro RFS gives the following advice -
- Bombala Fire.- 1700hrs
Fire downgraded to ADVICE as crews have partial containment and easing weather conditions are assisting firefighters with containment plans.
2 Dozers 3 bobcats and a grader are working on all edges trying to contain the fire.
Fire crews are backburning in some areas trying to link containment around the main fire.
Approx 60Hectares of bushland have now been burnt but crews are now starting to gain control and hope to keep the fire to this size.
Power has been lost to some areas of Bombala, electrical line crews are working to restore this ASAP.
Mum (who is an invalid) tried to ring everyone because she saw the fire just as it started but because she had no power she could not ring anyone. She was about to get in her car to drive to alert the residents who lived near where the fire started but someone with a mobile phone happened along thank heavens. The NBN was a great idea of the Labor Govt NOT. Grrrrrrrrrr Thank God the wind was blowing in the other direction or else there could have been some lives lost. Clean up your trees around houses!
Stay safe on the hill Uncle Blue and Aunty Flo
Fire crews have been fighting a blaze on the edge of Bombala near Jonas Street and Waterworks Hill.
UPDATE: The Monaro RFS reports that the fire situation has eased and fire status had been downgraded to Advice. Approx 60 hectares have been burnt and operations are underway to contain the fire in timber country to the east of Bombala.

Weather System to bring elevated fire dangers, warm temperatures, wind and snow all in one weekend
The Bureau of Meteorology is currently monitoring a system which is likely to deliver a weekend of variable and potentially dangerous weather to New South Wales and the ACT.
The strong cold front is expected to:
Saturday
Trigger elevated Fire Dangers Ratings (including Severe) in sections of NSW
Lead to significantly above average temperatures for this time of year for sections of northern and eastern NSW
Produce strong and potentially damaging winds in the Illawarra, southern ranges and the ACT
Possibly produce severe thunderstorms across parts of northeast NSW.
Sunday
Produce a major temperature drop that is likely to see many maximums drop from the high 20's and 30's (Sat), to the teens and low 20's
Bring early snow to the southern ranges above 700 to 800 metres. There is also a slight risk of a light flurry about the Central Tablelands in the early morning.
Produce strong and potentially damaging winds in the Illawarra, southern ranges and the ACT in the early morning.
The Bureau of Meteorology is urging people to regularly monitor the conditions as the system moves through and is working closely with state and territory emergency services.
Our weather forecast for the weekend. 😱😱😱
Not good

Cooma nurses rally for ratios
____________________________________________
Nurses from around the region rallied at Cooma’s Centennial Park last Thursday to highlight the need for nurse to patient ratios to be implemented statewide.
Cooma nurses gathered at Centennial Park on Thursday September 6 to fight for better nurse to patient ratios in the Cooma Hospital.
Story on page 3.
More staff is needed to lessen the work load and in turn increase the time needed with each PT as there needs differ and cannot be measured in minutes...this would decrease stress, health related issues, absenteeism, improve productivity and make for a happier work environment ...I quit nursing because I couldnt spend the time needed with my PT's which concerned me greatly it needs to change
Great work guys 👍👍💪💪
Excellent
Good on tou ladies x
👍👍🙏👏👏
Some great news this week! Find it in the Monaro Post - out now.
