Bushfires

Vision shot by the Terrey Hills Rural Fire Service brigade shows immense flames near Mount Tomah on the northern edge of the Blue Mountains national park. The Gospers Mountain fire, which began six weeks ago, has become a megablaze  in which several fires have combined to the north and west of Sydney, covering almost 400,000 hectares and stretching almost from Lithgow to the NSW central coast. Temperatures well above 40C were forecast for western Sydney, other parts of NSW and several other states later in the week
