A rural firefighter is among a group of climate change activists arrested over a protest on the Sydney Harbour Bridge that disrupted peak-hour traffic.

The group has recently held multiple high-profile protests targeted at disrupting traffic and the movement of infrastructure, attracting the ire of the NSW government. NSW Police urged drivers to avoid the area on Wednesday morning after the group parked a truck on the Cahill Expressway about 8.30am, blocking near the south pylon, over Circular Quay and The Rocks. Two of the group climbed onto the truck's cabin, holding a Fireproof Australia flag and lighting a flare, while another two glued themselves to the bridge. Fireproof Australia is calling for the rehoming of flood and bushfire survivors, and the implementation of recommendations from the royal commission into the Black Summer bushfires. "Anyone engaging in unauthorised protest activity that puts themselves or members of the public at risk, and also causes significant disruptions to the community, will be dealt with under the full force of the law." The bridge blockade came just days after another member of Fireproof Australia ran onto the pitch with a lit flare during an NRL match between the Cronulla Sharks and the Wests Tigers on Sunday. The 32-year-old pleaded guilty at Sutherland Local Court on Monday to two charges. Police moved in on the group, arresting the four at 9am and taking them to the nearby Day Street Police Station. Two women aged 31 and 44 and two men aged 36 and 60 are yet to be charged.

The group parked a truck on the Cahill Expressway, blocking traffic near the south pylon, over Circular Quay and The Rocks. Two of the group climbed onto the truck's cabin, holding a Fireproof Australia flag and lighting a flare, while another two glued themselves to the bridge.

Activist group Fireproof Australia said protesters plan to light flares and walk across the Harbour Bridge on Thursday as part of a "political prisoner protest" over the jailing of their member Andrew George. George ran onto the pitch of an NRL match between the Cronulla Sharks and Wests Tigers on Sunday, brandishing a lit flare.
