Bushfires destroy homes on New South Wales Coast
Officials stated, "an emergency warning is in place for the Nimbin Road Koolewong area due to a bush fire burning in a southerly direction behind Glenrock Parade towards Lara Street," advising people living on Nimbin Road, Glenrock Parade, Lara Street, and Nimala Avenue to evacuate immediately.
Koolewong, located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, sits roughly 88 kilometers (54 miles) north of Sydney.
Additional emergency alerts were raised for the Baerami, Baerami Creek, Widden, Yarrawa, and Kerrabee regions due to a large wildfire. Residents who have not yet left were told to take shelter, as authorities noted it is "now too late to leave."
Transportation has also been disrupted, with train services through the affected zones suspended, according to reports.
Meteorologists highlighted that the conditions in the region—high temperatures combined with strong, gusty winds—create "a perfect combination for fires to develop and grow if they do get going," increasing the risk and intensity of the blazes.
