2017 Currandooley Fire (NSW)
The Currandooley Fire ignited on 17 January 2017 when a bird connected with overhead electrical infrastructure, caught alight and dropped into dry foliage underneath a powerline that transferred electricity from Infigen’s Woodlawn Windfarm to a substation at their Capital Wind Farm on the property known as Currandooley.
The fire burnt approximately 3,400 hectares completely destroying one residence, numerous sheds, hundreds of livestock as well as cars, fencing, trees and pasture.
