Summer heat and high winds have fuelled a dangerous weekend of bush and grass fires across New South Wales, leaving more than 20 homes destroyed and claiming the life of a firefighter. The man died after being struck by a falling tree late Sunday while battling a blaze near Bulahdelah, with Premier Chris Minns saying the loss is devastating. Conditions eased by Monday, but authorities say nine fires remain uncontained across the state.
