Update: 11:57AM THE National Fire Authority has pledged its support towards the Earth Hour campaign.

"NFA stations all around the country will switch off the lights during this Earth Hour campaign to contribute globally towards the protection of our Planet Earth," said NFA chief executive officer John O'Connor.

"A major concern for NFA would be the protection of our environment and communities from the harmful and painful effects of fires which destroy homes and our environment if we are not careful."

The NFA believes that the prevention of unnecessary fires could contribute to a safe, green and healthy community and environment.
