An overworked NSW Rural Fire Service boss says this week's forecast rain is the best news firefighters have had for many months.
Rain is expected across much of the state from Tuesday including fire grounds in the Snowy Mountains, southwest of Sydney and South Coast regions.
"From a fire point of view, this is the best week we've seen for many, many months in terms of easing some of the conditions," RFS commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told the Nine Network on Tuesday.
