Buildings destroyed as out-of-control NSW bushfire races towards beach communities | ABC News

A bushfire burning out of control on the New South Wales South Coast has destroyed at least one home and shut off escape routes for residents in nearby coastal communities.

The fire, north of Batemans Bay at Currowan, which is subject to an emergency warning, crossed the Princes Highway into Murramarang National Park on Monday, bolstered by strong westerly winds.

The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) said one house on the Clyde River, as well as "other structures", were destroyed in the afternoon but no further details were available.
