SYDNEY - Australian officials on Tuesday warned of rising risks of bush fires in the east after about two years of frequent flooding and rain, as a severe heatwave pushed temperatures in several regions, including Sydney, to their highest in two years.

No injuries have been reported from the latest bush fires yet, but authorities said some residents had to be evacuated.
