Australia ‘mega fire’ Blankets Sydney with Smoke

More than just a bushfire

Several bushfires have combined to form what is being called a ‘mega fire’ in a national park forest north of Australia’s biggest city, Sydney. Firefighters warned late Friday that they are struggling to contain the blaze, which continues to burn across at least 300,000 hectares (741,000 acres) of land and has spewed smoke and haze over the city.
