Wildfires

Wildfires - Australia

Firefighters battling a bushfire that is threatening lives and homes near a mine site in Western Australia's north have been forced to shift resources to a separate blaze suspected of being deliberately lit.

A watch and act has been issued for people near the Western Turner mine site, west of Tom Price in the Pilbara. The blaze is out of control and unpredictable, and smoke has closed some roads. The fire has burnt about 24,000ha since it started on October 8.
