Cooler conditions on New Year’s Day gave authorities in Australia a little respite, although there were still more than 100 blazes in New South Wales alone. More here:
SYDNEY - A third person was confirmed dead on Wednesday in devastating bushfires that engulfed Australia’s southeast coast this week and a fourth was missing and feared dead, as navy ships rushed to provide supplies and assist with evacuations.
Cooler conditions on Wednesday gave the country a moment to count the cost of the fires, although there were still more than 100 blazes in New South Wales state alone and thousands of firefighters on the ground. NSW police did not identify the missing man but said he was 72 years old and authorities have been unable to reach his home.
About 4,000 people in the town of Mallacoota in Victoria headed to the waterfront after the main road was cut off. Thousands of Australians remain cut off as fires force the closure of major roads, leaving many struggling to secure supplies.
