FIRE ON CENTRAL COAST ISLAND

More spectacular images are emerging of a bushfire burning on Lion Island on the Central Coast.

Firefighters were called to the island, which sits just off the coast of Pearl Beach, on Saturday afternoon following reports of a fire.

It’s understood the island, which gets its name due to its shape, was struck by lightning, sparking a bushfire.

The Rural Fire Service’s Fires Near Me listing the blaze as under control, and covering an area of around 2 hectares.

RFS and National Parks & Wildlife crews are working to fully extinguish the fire.
