The Bushfires in eastern Australia have spread across the suburbs of Sidney. The fire flames were so intense that the firefighters deployed planes and helicopters in order to put an end to the blazing fires with splattering of water and red retardant. 

Fire Blazes spread across the eastern coast of Australia

The international media reported that there were twin blazes initially in the north shore suburbs of Turramurra which is located 15 km away from Sydney. The fire then spread to the eucalypt forest park and became uncontrollable so much that several homes were caught in it. Currently, more than 100 forest fires big or small are burning around the eastern coast of Australia. The present bushfires have caused an increase in the temperature and the situation is getting worse.
