"Most of the damage so far is the leaking roofs, damaged properties, fallen trees and stranded motorists, some of whom have attempted to drive through flooded areas," SES commissioner Carlene York said on Friday.
The SES will be moving resources down into the Illawarra and the South Coast over the weekend as the weather system moves south. "The fire damaged areas will bring extra risks as the heavy water and floods move through more likelihood of fallen trees and more run-off," Ms York said.NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons says the rain is"breaking the back" of the horror bushfire season.
"The rain is good for business and farms as well as being really good for quenching some of these fires we've been dealing with for many, many months," the commissioner told ABC TV on Friday.
