- Summary:
-
"Green Wattle Creek fire, just south-west of Sydney, since 5.30pm on Thursday as it burned at emergency level and threatened homes. Firefighters warned that the fire, which has already burnt out more than 35,000 hectares of land, is still burning out of control. Three firefighters were flown to hospital from that fireground, suffering minor burns. Residents have been forced to evacuate. At about 9pm, a swathe of bush instantly went up in flames. Shortly after a 100m wall of fire erupts from the bush, forcing fire fighters to abandon their trucks and run from its path. The ferocity of the Green Wattle Creek Fire at Orangeville this evening, was very severe and paints a worrying picture as the fire moves closer to Sydney. Orangeville, NSW, Australia. Thursday 6th December 2019."--Information supplied by photographer.
