Six bushfires burning across NSW from the South Coast to the Queensland border have been elevated to 'emergency warning'.
An emergency warning has been issued for the 230,000-hectare Gospers Mountain blaze on Sydney's northwestern outskirts as firefighters face a"long and challenging day".
The 230,000-hectare Gospers Mountain blaze on Sydney's northwestern outskirts was the first fire to go to the emergency level on Thursday as firefighters faced a"long and challenging day". Gary Flynn from the Wisemans Inn Hotel says the small town is"dead quiet" as bushfires burn across the Hawkesbury River."We are just keeping an eye on things at the moment. The town is dead quiet. It's a different story for the poor buggers across the river."
"High temperatures and strong winds will make conditions dangerous at many of the 100-plus fires burning across NSW."
