Wildfires continue to rage in Australia, choking the sky with smoke, forcing thousands to flee. The U.S. is now sending nearly two dozen more fire personnel to help battle the blazes.
At points, the flames in Batemans Bay, New South Wales, were so intense that firefighters had to stop battling the wildfires for their own safety.
