The NSW State Emergency Service is warning much-needed rain and thunderstorms sweeping across the state could bring new risks as firefighters look to the wet weather to help douse the 80 NSW blazes still burning

The NSW SES says this could increase the risk of flash flooding, falling trees and landslips where the fires have wiped out trees and growth."While the rain is welcomed, heavy rainfall and storms in fire-affected areas can lead to dangerous conditions such as a higher risk of flash flooding, falling trees and landslips," NSW SES Assistant Commissioner Paul Bailey said.

The NSW SES has responded to more than190 flood and storm jobs across the state, mostly around Parkes, Port Stephens and Batemans Bay.
