‘We are in uncharted territory’: Towns are evacuated and hundreds of residents are told to flee as a record number of bushfires rage across two Australian states

MELBOURNE - Towns were evacuated and hundreds of residents told to flee on Friday as a record number of emergency-level bushfires raged across two Australian states.

The service has also received many reports of people being trapped in their homes, national broadcaster ABC said. High winds were fanning fires, turning the sky red in the mid-north coastal town of Port Macquarie, according to posts on social media. “It is a very volatile and very dangerous set of circumstances that we are experiencing right across these fire grounds in New South Wales,” New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said.In Queensland, people in several towns including Cooroibah and Tewantin, with a combined population of around 6,500, were told to leave by the state’s fire and emergency services.
