Coast in Crisis: South Coast burns

As the South Coast battles through another massive day of fires, we'll be covering the event live and free.

South Coast in crisis

Fire crews are working on a bushfire south west of Nowra in the Tianjara area. The fire broke out off Braidwood Road in bushland between the Tinajara Falls and the Yerriyong area just before 7am and has already burnt out 35 hectares. The fire is just east of Tianjara Falls and is moving slowly in a north easterly direction and is at advice level at the moment. Fire crews are looking to close Braidwood Road to the west on the Nerriga side of the fire. The concern is the fire is in the vicinity of the former Tianjara firing range, which was primarily used for artillery training from World War II until the 1980s and has an unknown amount of unexploded ordnance, or UXO.
