NEW BLAZES IN AUSTRALIA BUT WORST FEARS EASE

MOUNT VICTORIA - Firefighters in Australia battled hot, dry winds and soaring temperatures on Wednesday as new blazes were whipped up in a week-long bushfire emergency, but fears of a catastrophe eased. 
With the crisis in its seventh day, some 71 fires were raging across an area with a perimeter of 1 600km in New South Wales (NSW) state and 29 of them were uncontained. 

  • Warnings were again issued for people to be extra-vigilant, although there were no reports of more property being lost.
