Wildfires - Australia
A firefighter has been killed and at least two homes have been destroyed by Australian spring wildfires, officials said Saturday.
The 38-year-old volunteer firefighter was severely burned Friday while battling a blaze on a farm near the town of Nantawarra in South Australia. The fire was later contained.
At least two homes were razed by wildfires Saturday on the outskirts of the town of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, in New South Wales. Firefighters had battled to protect homes in Katoomba from flames fanned by winds of 80 kilometers (50 miles) per hour.
