Wildfires – Australia
At least five homes have been lost in Western Australia and 60,000 hectares razed in one of the most challenging bushfire periods in recent memory, and one the state’s fire and emergency services commissioner has linked to climate change.
About 1,000 firefighters are managing four blazes which reached an emergency risk level over the weekend in southern parts of the state.
The Shackleton fire in the eastern wheatbelt has burned through about 40,000 hectares and at one point spanned 35km long. The Denmark fire, which is now contained, had doubled in size during Friday night. Another fire near the wheatbelt town of Narrogin which also reached emergency level has also been downgraded to watch and act.
