FRNSW has been called in to assist the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) with trees that have crashed down onto houses and roads, fallen powerlines, and electrical wires arcing and sparking.
The majority of these incidents have now been responded to, with emergency teams expected to clear the remainder over the coming hours.
Life-threatening emergencies
A number of fires also occurred during the night, but it's unclear if any are related to the storm event. No injuries, related to the wild weather, have been reported at this time.
FRNSW is reminding the public to only call Triple Zero (000) for life-threatening emergencies. The NSW SES is available on 132 500 if you require assistance during floods or storms.
