The national death toll from Australia’s bushfire season stands at 24, after New South Wales police confirmed that two men who had been reported missing have been located. Some 60 fires remain out of control in NSW, while 14 fires are still burning in Victoria. There is concern that separate fires near Corryong in Victoria and in southern New South Wales could merge to form a ‘mega-blaze’, particularly with hot weather forecast for later in the week. Meanwhile, 672 homes in NSW have been destroyed in bushfires so far in 2020, and 1,588 have been lost since the bushfire season began.
