Dear fellow Nmbngians
As many of you are no doubt aware, there is a serious fire burning atop the Nightcap Ranges. Smoke is filling the Nimbin Valley and residents of Tuntable and Terania valleys are being urged to evacuate.
Tuntable and Terania Residents without alternative places to stay can camp for free at Nimbin Showgrounds (for Tuntable residents) and the Channon (for Terania Creek residents).
At this point Nmbngee is not in the firing line, but we must be vigilant for fires in the area and keep on the guard. There may also be the danger of airborne cinders from the Nightcap fires, especially if the fires spread to the Newton Road ridge.
Contact Ross, Chris or Bob if you see any fires on or near Nmbngee. These three are the designated First Responders for the Nmbngee community and will contact anyone else who needs to be contacted.
There is an emergency meeting in Nimbin Town Hall today at 4pm for those interested in offering assistance or being better informed.
