Wildfires

Wildfires - Australia

At least one home was destroyed and another severely damaged in a bushfire burning on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula late yesterday.

Homes in Crib Point, near HMAS Cerberus naval base, were under threat last night and smoke could be seen from nearby Phillip Island and French Island.

More than 100 firefighters, with the support of 26 trucks and three firebombing aircraft, were battling the blaze.

All but one of Victoria’s fire districts face a total fire ban as temperatures to top 40C in some areas with strong northerly winds ahead of a gusty cool change.
