NSW bushfires surround Sydney but conditions ease for now

ABC  

Conditions have eased since the New South Wales bushfire crisis arrived in Sydney on Friday, but authorities warn that residents are "not out of the woods yet". Key points: Firefighters were using easing conditions to conduct "critical backburning" A helicopter aiding firefighters had crashed north-east of Newcastle earlier today A total fire ban has been declared in several areas, including Greater Sydney Two massive blazes threatened homes on two sides of the city on Friday and fire also crept towards major population centres on the South Coast and Central Coast. While last night offered some much-needed relief, windy conditions could merge another blaze into the "mega fire" burning outside Sydney. Meanwhile, several blazes combined north of Sydney on Friday to create a 60-kilometre "mega fire" that stretches all the way to Singleton, on the banks of the Hunter River.
