Wildfires razing Australia's drought-stricken east coast leave two dead, several missing, over 30 injured and over 150 homes destroyed
Firefighters work to contain a bushfire along Old Bar road in Old Bar, New South Wales, Australia, November 9, 2019.
More than 30 people including firefighters received medical treatment for burns and one patient had a cardiac arrest, he said. Forster is a town 300 kilometres north of Sydney, Australia's largest city. Many spent the night in evacuation centres while some slept in cars. The Insurance Council of Australia declared the wildfire crisis a "catastrophe," meaning insurance claims will be given priority.
Peter Lean spent the night on the roof of his house in the town of Wallabi Point, extinguishing burning embers carried on strong winds.
