Australian bushfire turns clear sky into post-apocalyptic hellscape in wild video
Dramatic video footage shows the raging Australian bushfire create a post-apocalyptic hellscape — in less than a minute.
The video, which the Dunmore Rural Fire Brigade posted on its Facebook page, shows a fire truck and several smoke-eaters gearing up to fight the inferno in New South Wales on Jan. 4 before plumes of smoke suddenly envelope the sky.
Within seconds, trees and grass are ablaze as sizzling embers fill the air at breakneck speed and firefighters drive away, the shocking footage shows.
The record-breaking bushfires killed at least 28 people, wiped out 21 million acres (an area the size of about half the state of Florida) and killed millions of local animals earlier this month.
