Australian Firefighters Confront 'Mega Blaze' Near Sydney

Phil Mercer

   SYDNEY - One hundred forty bushfires continue to burn across eastern
   Australia. A huge blaze near Sydney is bigger in size than the city
   itself and could take weeks to put out. Conditions have eased Saturday
   but the dangers persist.

   Sydney is again shrouded in a toxic, smoky haze. Health warnings have
   been issued and many weekend sporting activities have been cancelled.
   Several blazes have combined to create a "mega fire" north of
   Australia's biggest city.The fire's front is 60 kilometers long and
   officials warn it is simply too big to put out.
