Wildfires - South Australia
The heatwave frying South East Australia gets worse as hundreds of new fires are reported.
Emergency warnings have been issued for two uncontrolled bushfires apparently started by thunderstorms in sweltering South Australia.
The Country Fire Service (CFS) says it’s receiving reports of fires at the rate of one a minute, from the state’s west to the wine region of the Barossa Valley, the Mt Lofty Ranges near Adelaide and the Murraylands.
Two fires have been given emergency warning status which means the blazes are a risk to lives and homes.
In Adelaide today, the state capital melted under 45 degree heat with more 40 degree plus temperatures forecast for the next three days.
A thunderstorm swept across the state earlier today sending lightening strikes into bushland.
A badly burned woman was fighting for her life in hospital last night after being airlifted from one of the 300 bushfires burning across the state.
