Fire Breaks Out in Sydney's Olympic Park Amid Record Heat

Fires broke out in several locations in New South Wales over the weekend of November 28-29, amid record-high temperatures.

This footage, recorded on the Sunday in the Sydney suburb of Olympic Park, shows a small fire that was burning in a vegetated area.

Overnight Saturday, Sydney experienced its hottest ever recorded November nighttime temperatures, before rising to over 40 degrees Celsius at Sydney’s airport on Sunday.

The sweltering heatwave has led to fire warnings in New South Wales, where several bushfires were reported over the weekend. Credit: @sstm2000 via Storyful
