Sydney choked by smoke from hazard reduction burns

The burns are taking place across Hornsby, Penrith and the Sutherland Shire as preparation for what's expected to be a supercharged fire season, driven by a super-sized El Niño weather system and flash droughts that create dangerously warm conditions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
