Currowan bushfire chokes major road on Australia’s New South Wales south coast

An out-of-control bushfire threatened properties on the south coast of New South Wales in Australia on Dec. 4, the New South Wales Rural Fire Service said. The Princes Highway between Burrill Lake and Batemans Bay was closed due to the Currowan bushfire, while residents in Kioloa, Pretty Beach, Pebbly Beach, Depot Beach and Durras North were told to take shelter from the fire as it was “too late to leave.”
