Rain forecast for the weekend could bring much needed reprieve to firefighters tackling blazes that have so far destroyed 45 homes | EstherHjHan

Firefighters tackling blazes in northern NSW that have destroyed at least 45 homes in the past week could get some reprieve, with rain predicted for Friday and Saturday.

Naomi Elwell inspects the remains of her mother's house which was destroyed by bushfires in Rappville, NSW, Thursday, October 10, 2019."Of the homes destroyed, 37 were impacted by the Busbys Flat Road fire. Eight properties were destroyed by the Long Gully Road fire this week, in addition to 24 which were destroyed last month."

The "large" bushfire around Busbys Flat Rd in Richmond Valley has so far burned 40,800 hectares between Busbys Flat and Bungawalbin, and remians out of control."Firefighters and aircraft have slowed the spread of the fire, and are being assisted by milder conditions," the RFS said about midday. An upper-level trough interacting with moisture-laden onshore winds are producing widespread showers and thunderstorms over eastern Australia.
