It was gathered that Australian fire fighters are currently putting up measures to quench bush fire in the New South Wales so as to prevent terrible blaze that could occur.

The bush fire which started as a result of the hottest September, has forced the government of the region to declare state of emergency in the area.

According to the NSW Rural Fire Services Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, State Mine fire was at risk of merging with a fire at Mount Victoria.

"Modelling indicates that there's every likelihood under the forecast weather conditions that these two fires, particularly up in the back end of the mountains will merge at some point... there is every likelihood that these two fires will join up," he said.

He added that in a worst-case scenario the fire could merge with a third fire at Springwood but said: "With the continued success of the fire-fighting effort, let's hope that it doesn't extend all that far eastward."

Speaking at the end of the day, he said the fires at Springwood and State Mine were still burning.

"Advice back from the Springwood fire area is that the fire... is still very active and is still burning in the valley system," he said.

Meanwhile, personnel numbering 800  from interstate fire departments are expected to arrive on Tuesday to assist in fire-fighting efforts.
