Three homes were destroyed Tuesday night by a fire that threatened several Bega Valley communities and razed more than 5,200 hectares . A man aged in his 40s was taken to a hospital in stable condition after a tree fell on his car on Wednesday morning, officials said. Although it was early spring in Australia, much of New South Wales has been experiencing mid-summer conditions for days at a time, Minns said.
The Rural Fire Service said the Bega Valley fire had yet to be contained by late Wednesday, but was no longer threatening lives or property.
