Oh No! Fires are back!

Still a few days of spring left but dozens of grass and bushfires are burning across NSW as a cool change spreads across the state after a day of scorching temperatures.

There are 62 grass and bushfires currently burning across the state, according to the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS).

At Sydney airport it was 43' yesterday. Today was hot and very windy a southerly change has just gone through

This house was damaged by a bushfire in Sydney's west

Crikey Bruce, I didn't think there was anything left to burn after last year! Sending you rain over anyway, we've more than enough here...

Re: Oh No! Fires are back!

I can only imagine how I'd feel watching the house catch fire. I know some people lose everything. I hope the situation is soon brought under control.

it is interesting because despite the massive blazes last summer they say that less than 1% of the state was burned then. It is such a big place, there is plenty left to burn.
