Firefighters continue to fight on multiple fronts in New South Wales. 

In South Australia, properties have been lost, firefighters injured, and more land blackened after a horror night of fire of Kangaroo Island.

In Victoria, emergency and evacuation alerts continue in East Gippsland, and the state's north-east.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has ordered the defence force to work alongside firefighters and other authorities where required.
