In New South Wales, southeastern Australia, since the 8th of this month, there have been many forest fires in various locations. So far, four people have died and more than 500 homes have been burned down.
On the 21st, smoke was carried by the wind, and a wide area including the center of Sydney was covered with thick haze, and the index of air pollution was once again the worst of the six levels, which had a significant impact on human health. It has reached the “danger level”.
There is also a risk of fire spreading locally due to dry wind, and according to local firefighting, there is a concern about the impact on health because smoke may come in the next few days.
