NSW and Queensland fires: Sydney to face catastrophic fire danger for first time
More than 130 bushfires continue to burn, with three people dead and 150 properties destroyed, and conditions set to worsen
The greater Sydney region will face catastrophic fire danger on Tuesday for the first time since the rating was introduced and fire authorities say conditions in other parts of New South Wales could also be set to worsen.
The warning was issued as more than 80 fires continued to burn in the north of the state late on Sunday.
