|December 08, 2025
Australian authorities on Sunday downgraded alerts for wildfires that have burnt through thousands of hectares of bushland in the country's most populous state, destroying properties and infrastructure.
-
More than 60 wildfires were burning in New South Wales late on Sunday, a day after they destroyed at least 12 homes in the state's Central Coast Region, about 45 km north of the state capital Sydney, Australia’s largest city.
The region is home to more than 350,000 people.
The state’s Rural Fire Service said the fires no longer posed an immediate danger to residents.
The alerts were downgraded to “advice” level, the second-lowest danger rating.
