State authorities warn that the impending “extreme” heat will intensify the fiery nightmare
Fires raging in recent days in Victoria, Australia, have destroyed at least six homes, while state authorities warn that the impending “extreme” heat will intensify the fiery nightmare.
More than 2,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the state’s far west and seek shelter in the city of Ballarat, 95 kilometers west of Melbourne. Australia is going through a period of high risk due to the El Niño weather phenomenon, which is associated with extreme conditions such as bushfires, cyclones and droughts.
About 15 bushfires are raging across Victoria today and state Premier Jacinda Allan has made no secret of her concern about the weather conditions over the coming week, particularly from Wednesday onwards. To this end, he said he has convened a meeting to coordinate emergency response services.
More than 1,000 firefighters, supported by around 50 aircraft, have been battling the flames.
The so-called “Black Summer” of 2019-2020 in Australia had reduced an area the size of Turkey to ashes and 33 people had lost their lives due to the fires.
