A strong wildfire tore through Koolewong, a coastal town north of Sydney, New South Wales. At least 12 homes were destroyed or damaged, local authorities confirmed. The state is battling many wildfires fueled by rising temperatures. An unnamed resident said, "You had no time to even think... we've lost everything, all we've got left is what we're wearing." Aerial videos reveal homes on fire as helicopters work hard to put out the flames.
