新南威尔士州农村消防局针对大悉尼和大亨特地区发布全面禁火令，应对即将到来的极端火灾危险1。澳大利亚气象局预报悉尼西部（Mount Druitt）地区气温将在下午2时左右达到37℃，纽卡斯尔以北至卧龙岗沿线地区气温在34℃至36℃之间1。在禁火令期间，室外用火、固体燃料烤架、研磨和焊接等活动均被禁止1。
NSW农村消防局专员特伦特·柯廷表示："火灾危险今天将非常高，干闪电在西部和NSW中部引发火灾将是真正的问题"1。此次高温和干闪电风险的叠加造成了极端火灾危险。气候科学家林登·阿什克罗夫特指出："唯一明确的驱动力就是气候变化"1。澳大利亚9月份为历史第二热，所有州平均气温排名均进入前五1。
Australia's New South Wales has implemented a total fire ban across greater Sydney and the Hunter region due to dangerous fire conditions driven by extreme heat and the risk of fire-starting lightning strikes.1 The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts temperatures will reach 37 degrees Celsius in western Sydney areas such as Mount Druitt by mid-afternoon, while regions from Newcastle northward to Wollongong are expected to experience temperatures between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius.1
The NSW Rural Fire Service has prohibited outdoor fires, solid fuel barbecues, grinding, and welding activities in the affected areas.1 NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Trent Curtin warned that "fire danger today will be very high, with dry lightning posing a real problem for fire starts in the west and central NSW."1
The extreme conditions reflect broader climate patterns, as Australia recorded its second-hottest September on record, with all states averaging temperatures ranking in the top five historically.1 Climate scientist Linden Ashcroft attributed this trend directly to climate change, stating that "the only clear driving force is climate change."1
