Fire danger is ACUTE due to the low humidity conditions. This is common to all buildings in the snowy mountains.
Muniong meets the highest standard of fire protection, however whilst this does not prevent fire or guarantee personal safety – it does provide extra time for action.
You could be required to vacate the lodge in total darkness and adverse weather conditions.
