Our thoughts are with our NSW RFS & Fire and Rescue NSW #emergencyservice colleagues as they face a long night ahead on the fire front in the Blue Mtns

Unfortunately the blue mtn's fire has dropped into the valley floor in several spots, which will cause a lot of problems for containment.

Fire investigators will look into the cause of the Katoomba fire. Being treated as suspicious. Crimestoppers 1800333000 #NSWRFS #nswfires
