Spot fires and embers are adding to the bushfire risk in southeast NSW where five blazes are burning at an emergency level. Five emergency warnings are now in place for blazes across the NSW south coast with homes under threat and a key highway closed. The emergency warning for the Clear Range fire near Bredbo says a number of spot fires are spreading quickly in a southeasterly direction. The NSW Rural Fire Service has declared total fire bans on Saturday for the southern slopes, southern ranges, Far South Coast, Monaro alpine and Illawarra/Shoalhaven regions.
