    Multiple homes have been destroyed near major urban centres as fires rip through bushland in tinderbox, heatwave-fuelled conditions


    Emergency warnings have been issued for residents near fires on the NSW Central Coast and in the Hunter region as dozens of blazes burned across the state.

    At least 12 homes are believed destroyed by a bushfire at Koolewong, not far from built-up areas on the Central Coast.
