Wildfires - Australia

The NSW Rural Fire Service says 38 fires are burning across the state including one that is threatening lives and homes in the central west. The blaze broke out yesterday afternoon at Tambaroora, near Hill End and about 80 kilometres north of Bathurst, and has since burned more than 635 hectares from just 169ha this morning. Flames were burning up to 10 metres in height. Properties at risk belong to a mix of absentee landholders and permanent residents.

A dry start to 2023 in the Sunshine State has kept fire crews busy as conditions become more conducive for wildfires throughout the Peninsula. As of early March, the Florida Forest Service reported monitoring some 80 fires that have burned nearly 3,500 acres.
