The fire department of New South Wales in Australia has posted a
video showing one of its trucks surrounded by a raging fire. The crew
were forced to shelter in their truck and used a blanket to keep the
scorching air from coming in as the fire front passed through.
Two people died overnight, taking the death toll from wildfires since the beginning of October to 11. The bushfires have destroyed more than 4m hectares (10m acres) of land, with new blazes sparked almost daily by extremely hot and windy conditions in bushland left tinder-dry after a three-year drought
