Total fire bans for Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra as fires burn amid severe danger

Those areas involve the Currowan fire burning north of Batemans Bay on the South Coast; the Gospers Mountain fire in the Hawkesbury and the Three Mile fire east of that, which is pushing towards the Central Coast; and a cluster of fires burning in the Hunter region.

There are also fresh "watch and act" alerts on fires at Paterson, north of Newcastle, and Carrai East, near Kempsey on the Mid North Coast.A spokeswoman for the Rural Fire Service said firefighters are concerned that as weather conditions deteriorate, that a cluster of fires burning in the Hunter in "remote, rugged terrain which is difficult for firefighters", could join into a mega-fire.

Meanwhile on the South Coast, residents on the northern side of Batemans Bay were urged on Wednesday to leave by 9am on Thursday if they weren't fully prepared to defend their properties.
