SYDNEY - Firefighters in the Australian state of New South Wales were bracing for “catastrophic” fire conditions on Saturday as temperatures well above 40C and strong winds were set to fuel more than 100 fires burning across the state.
“Catastrophic fire conditions are as bad as it gets,” NSW Rural Fire Services Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told journalists. Close to 10,000 emergency personnel would be working across NSW on Saturday, which the NSW Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott said was likely the largest emergency deployment the state had ever seen.A southerly wind change is expected late on Saturday afternoon. It is forecast to bring winds of up to 90 kph , which Fitzsimmons said would initially worsen fire conditions before leading to a dramatic drop in temperatures.
