Wildfires - Australia
Dramatic footage has emerged of homeowners’ desperate attempts to save their properties from ember fires today, with as many as 20 homes now feared destroyed.
Soaring temperatures into the mid-40s and strong winds have made bushfires erratic and difficult to control. Authorities have warned main highways, including the Princes Highway and Hume Highway, may be closed and motorists will be asked to turn around if they try to enter dangerous areas. People have been told to delay any travel plans..
A ‘mega-blaze’ has taken hold in Lithgow, two hours west of Sydney, with flames moving just metres from homes. Multiple homes are now destroyed and one resident is unaccounted for.
