Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott was part of a strike team that was first to arrive on a street where every home was saved from flames.
that Abbott wore a breathing apparatus and ran into a burning home as they fought fires in Bendalong and Manyana, three hours south of Sydney. A separate video of Curvers Drive in Manyana, about five miles from Bendalong, showed an orange haze and heavy smoke as fires ravaged a neighborhood.
"You need to send at least three of your trucks to Manyana, they're about to get smashed over the side," the strike team leader tells another over the radio. The Ingleside Rural Fire Brigade strike team, including Abbott, were the first into the street and all houses were saved, they said. Newsweek reached out to the Ingleside Rural Fire Brigade through email and Facebook but did not receive a response in time for publication.
Hot temperatures and long drought conditions have made for a devastating fire season for large swaths of Australia. Rain brought much-needed relief on Monday, but it wasn't expected to be enough to extinguish the blazes.that favorable weather conditions were welcomed, but the rain also created challenges for implementing the back-burns firefighters were hoping to complete before higher temperatures hit later in the week.
