Share TweetBy ReutersAustralian firefighters will spend Sunday trying to contain bushfires as authorities warn that widespread fire danger on Tuesday will stretch their ability to protect people. “With so many fires already burning, homes and lives will be at risk,” the NSW RFS said on Twitter. More than 70 fires were burning in NSW on Sunday morning and while none were at an emergency level, 36 were not under control. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, almost 5,000 homes have been evacuated in Queensland over the last 48 hours, with many residents unable to return.
