SYDNEY - Fires raged across a swathe of Australia’s east coast on Tuesday, destroying more homes and shrouding Sydney in smoke from a blaze authorities fear they will be unable to control until next week.
“We’ve got a long way to go yet before we can say we’re comfortable with the state of the fires,” New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told reporters in Sydney. Aaron Crowe, 38, who lost his two-bedroom home in NSW’s mid-north coast, joined the rally as he tipped some of the charred remnants of his house onto the pavement outside NSW parliament, local media reported.Prime Minister Scott Morrison, a vocal supporter of Australia’s coal industry, has declined to answer questions about whether the current fires were a result of climate change.
Blazes have been spurred by extremely dry conditions after three years of drought in parts of NSW and Queensland, which experts say has been exacerbated by climate change.

Winds fan ferocious fires in Australia's most populous stateA catastrophic fire warning was in place for Sydney, Australia's largest city, where a large blaze threatened homes on Tuesday. And Barnaby_Joyce, a senator, said that two people that died because of the fires probably voted for the green. The man is an absolute disgrace and the biggest pig in the country! Come on, Donnie! Tell Australians it's their own fault because they don't rake their forests. Be safe, y'all. Lives come before stuff.
