Interstate fire crews sent to help NSW

FIREFIGHTERS across Australia are being deployed to aid NSW in its state of emergency.

With deteriorating weather conditions feared to return to the state on Monday, a 120-strong replacement crew will head from Victoria to NSW.

Victoria's fire services commissioner Craig Lapsley says the crew will replace the team they sent last week.

NSW will then let Victoria know if it needs more back up.

"This week in NSW there's a critical couple of days," Mr Lapsley said.

"Tuesday and Wednesday is the real critical fire weather. There could be a chance NSW could ask for more."

South Australia has also chipped in, sending a crew of 51, while Tasmania has sent a team of 20. ACT Rural Fire Service has sent two teams to the Blue Mountains, where several ferocious fires are scorching the countryside.

A team of eight firefighters has also been sent from Queensland, with two more crews on standby.

New Zealand fire crews across the ocean are on the ready if NSW makes a call for help.

Earlier this year, New Zealand fire crews were deployed to help fight bushfires in both Tasmania and Victoria.

In 2009, a team of 109 Kiwi firefighters was sent to tackle massive bushfires in Victoria.
