NSW: Homes lost in bushfires

Homes have been lost as bushfires rage across New South Wales.

Rural Fire Service Assistant Commissioner ROB ROGERS has told the Nine Network four
properties have been lost in the Gerogery blaze north of Albury .. three southwest of
Tumbarumba near the Victorian border .. and there's been three losses near Michelago south
of Canberra.

He says yesterday's very high winds and temperatures made it a particularly bad day
for firefighters.

Today's cooler temperatures and a bit of rain is expected to help the firefighting
efforts .. with the blaze burning at Londonderry in Syndey's northwest now contained.
