Stuart Robb of the Rural Fire Service says their concern is that this Friday, September 6, is going to see very low humidity and higher temperatures, which makes conditions really unfavourable.

"Fire permits are already suspended and the same thing will apply on Friday and Saturday this week. We have eight fires across the district that are controlled or being controlled, and we don't want any new fires breaking out," he said.

"We do have aircraft supporting us until the weekend. People need to take extra care over the next couple of days because of the lack of rain, high temperatures and low humidity," he added.

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast that the mercury will hit 34 degrees in Wauchope and 32 degrees in Port Macquarie this Friday.

The Lindfield Park Road bushfire on the edge of Port Macquarie is still burning, and the RFS are using thirty million litres of reclaimed water to flood the area over 50 days, to drown the peat burning underneath. It has already been targeted repeated by air water bombers.

Camp fires and barbecues using wood, charcoal or other solid fuels have been banned in all State forests on the North Coast until further notice.

Forestry Corporation of NSW's Senior Manager of Stewardship, Kathy Lyons said fire season began early this year, due to extremely dry conditions, and hotter, drier weather is forecast, with little rain on the horizon.

"Campers and picnickers wishing to light a fire to cook in these forests can only use gas appliances until the ban is lifted, which won't be until after significant rainfall," she said.
