SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Thousands of Sydney commuters were stranded for hours Monday as firefighters battled a large wildfire on the outskirts that closed two major highways and a train line.
About 250 firefighters and several water-bombing aircraft worked to contain a wildfire that started late Sunday in the Kuringai Chase National Park, which borders several northern Sydney suburbs.
New South Wales state police supplied water to thousands of motorists stranded for five hours on two major highways that were closed due to heavy smoke and firefighting activity.
