Fire and Rescue New South Wales (NSW) posted an alarming video on its Twitter page Tuesday showing the moment one of its crews was “overrun by the bushfire burning South of Nowra,” in Australia. “The crew was forced to shelter in their truck as the fire front passed through,” the post read. Out-of-control bushfires flared up this morning in New South Wales and Victoria, reportedly killing a father and son, while a 72-year-old man is missing in New South Wales, police said. Four additional people are missing in Victoria. Thousands of people fled to beaches as the fires spread, and roughly 4,000 people were forced to take shelter along the coastal waters.
