There are no threats to property at this stage.
Meantime authorities are continuing to watch a fire at Williamtown, which has been burning for four days.

Can you please get your facts right? Fire and Rescue are assisting at the fire but the RFS are in control of the incident and they are not even mentioned.
Hi James, sorry for the mistake – we’re updating as we get information in. 🙂
In control?? Really?…… From 35ha on day one to 350 ha on day three in Williamstown.
And why does the RFS need assistance from Fire NSW….?
