The report pointed out that all regions of the new state are preparing for today`s "catastrophic" conditions.

Temperature is expected to reach 37 degrees Celsius today, wind speed is 60 kilometers per hour, humidity is low, these conditions will aggravate the fire.

At present, the Australian Army is preparing to deploy helicopters to evacuate residents of threat.

About 100000 house in the Sydney area are expected to be at risk, of which 31500 are on the north coast of Sydney.

Authorities warned that Sydney residents should do everything they can because they can`t guarantee they can help.

On Monday, the Rural Fire Department said:

"in this case, some fires may spread quickly, we have little time to warn, and we don`t have enough fire engines to put out every house. Don`t expect fire engines, don`t expect us to knock on the door, don`t call us, the safest option is always to evacuate early."

New State Emergency minister David Elliott said Australian residents are facing "what may be the most dangerous jungle fire week in history."

Since Friday, fires in the northeastern part of the state have claimed three lives, destroyed more than 150 house, razed to the ground and burned more than 1 million hectares (3800 square miles) of forests and farmland.

More than 400 schools will be closed on Tuesday, including about 300 public schools and 100 Catholic and private schools, and about 20 campuses of TAFE will be closed.

"Safety is still a top priority. If it is not safe to go to school, please do not go to school and inform your school," minister Sarah Mitchell warned.

Gladys Berejiklian, the governor of the new state, declared a state of emergency yesterday for the first time since the Blue Mountain jungle fire in 2013.

The head of the Defense Forces, Angus Campbell, issued an order to the local base commander to use defence resources in fire fighting.

Doctors and paramedics have treated more than 100 fire-related personnel, including 20 firefighters, ambulance commissioner Dominic Morgan said. The Department of Health also urged residents not to go out today.

The areas with the highest fire risk are near shrubs near Sydney, such as Hawkesbury in the north and Hornsby, Penrith in the west and Camden and Sutherland in the south.

But firefighters pointed out: no area is absolutely safe!
