Residents along the South Coast who survived the recent blazes are bracing themselves for Friday when conditions deteriorate, while local authorities are urging holidaymakers to reconsider their need to be in the area.

"We are still seeing nasty weather sets and there is so much fire in the environment," NSW Rural Fire Service community safety officer Marty Webster said.

"Many local residents have lost their homes or can't return to them and these people require accommodation, resources and support," a community update reads. "Until this Friday’s high fire danger has passed and NSW RFS reassess the forecast, visitors should stay away from the Eurobodalla." "You always say you'll defend your property, but when it's so intense - life is more important than your house," he said."I’ve been here my whole life and I've never thought I would ever experience this," he said."We just gotta prepare again for that day and be vigilant," Mr Powell said.'Anywhere near fires is a threat', 771 have been destroyed since January 1.

“Anywhere near fires is a threat,” he said. “There is still uncontained fire which is likely to become activated by strong northwesterly winds [on Friday].”
