Australia Faces Catastrophic Fire Conditions

Phil Mercer

   SYDNEY - A catastrophic fire warning has been issued for parts of New
   South Wales in eastern Australia, including Sydney. Emergency crews are
   also battling serious blazes in the states of Victoria and South
   Australia.

   New South Wales has seen the largest ever deployment of its emergency
   services. About 100 fires are burning across Australia's most populous
   state. About half are out of control. Residents in the path of a
   mega-blaze near Sydney have been told it is too late to leave. They
   have been advised to seek shelter in a 'solid structure' to avoid the
   heat of the flames.
