More than 70 bush and grass fires burning in NSW

Firefighters are working on the ground and from the air to try and contain a blaze burning near Port Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast. Firefighters have been trying to strengthen containment lines at the Crestwood Drive Fire before conditions deteriorate on Friday. The blaze, started by a lightning strike, has burnt through more than 2,000 hectares. While the flames have come dangerously close to homes, no properties have been lost. Currently there are more than 70 bush and grass fires burning across the state. Image: News Corp Australia
