As the NSW RFS continues to survey the damage caused by bushfires early this week, the NSW SES were inundated with calls due to damaging winds.
Emergency services across NSW are in clean-up mode after strong winds damaged homes and wreaked havoc at Sydney airport on Thursday, just days after major bushfires hit the state.
“The fact we have not seen any reports of injuries or rescues is a credit to the community for doing the right thing.” In Sydney, the winds caused 130 flights to be cancelled at Sydney Airport, which was reduced to single-runway operations for most of Thursday. Wong said the heat, winds, flooding and bushfires were part of a “transition” into spring, which had now run its course.
