A firefighter coats a bridge with foam as a bushfire burns near Moruya, New South Wales, Australia, on Jan. 25. Wildfires destroyed more than 3,000 homes and razed more nearly 11 million hectares since the summer fires began.

It’s the first time since July that the state has been fire-free. “That’s more than 240 days of fire activity” across the country’s most populous state, New South Wales Rural Fire Service said.
