A father and son are dead after fighting to save property in the southern NSW village of Cobargo on Tuesday, and another man is feared dead, after terrifying bushfires ripped through the region, destroying homes and forcing thousands of holidaymakers to shelter on beaches.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejilian confirmed the tragic deaths on Tuesday afternoon.
They follow Tuesday morning’s confirmation that a newlywed firefighter who was expecting his first child had also died in a freak ‘firestorm’ that flipped his truck.
“We can say certainly that the two men at Cobargo are residents of Cobargo,” Ms Berejiklian said. “A father and son, we believe. Very tragic set of circumstances. Obviously trying to their best with the fire as it came through in the early hours of the morning.
