野火肆虐澳大利亞南部
australian authorities say wildfires burning through the southeastern state of New South Wales have destroyed around 100 homes near Sydney and left one man dead.
Officials said Friday that around 100 fires are burning, fanned by unusually high temperatures and high winds. About a third are still uncontained. Hundreds of people spent Thursday night in evacuation centers on the outskirts of Sydney.
The weather turned milder Friday, but officials say conditions are still dangerous.澳大利亞當局說，西南部新南威爾士州發生多起山火，燒燬了悉尼附近的大約1百所房屋，並造成一名男子死亡。
有關官員星期五說，大約100處山火在燃燒，反常的高溫天氣和大風助長了火勢。目前還有大約三分之一的山火沒有得到控制。星期四，數百人在悉尼郊區的疏散營過夜。
星期五氣溫下降，但有關官員說，局勢仍很危險。
