"Caltex continues to work with NSW emergency services and our local distributors and carriers to coordinate fuel supply to areas impacted by bushfires. Supply for emergency services has been our priority and product has been quarantined at some sites where required to guarantee supply for the emergency response," a Caltex spokesman said.
"Eden has been stretched due to limited road access but a delivery occurred overnight and further deliveries are planned later today and tomorrow morning. Supply at Moruya is currently limited due to road access, however we are working with emergency services for escorted access this afternoon to replenish supply.
