Most buildings in a tiny Australian town have been damaged as bushfires ravage New South Wales (NSW) state, authorities have said. But about nine of 12 buildings in Uarbry, a very small community, had been destroyed, one local man said. RFS Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons could not confirm that number but said "most buildings" in Uarbry had been damaged or destroyed. Local resident Peter Gilmour told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that only three houses in the town were unaffected.
