Australia issues new evacuation alerts as monster bushfires regenerate

 

MERIMBULA/MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australian authorities issued new warnings and evacuation notices across the countryโ€™s heavily populated southeast on Thursday as a return of hot weather fanned huge bushfires threatening several towns and communities. A disaster notice in Victoria state, already in place for the past week, was extended by two days and people in danger zones were told to leave. In neighbouring New South Wales state, authorities told residents to prepare for worsening weather conditions on Friday.

 

โ€œThese fires are absolutely still moving, still growing in our landscape and they pose significant risk to communities,โ€ Victoria Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville said in a televised briefing. Twenty-six people have died, thousands have been made homeless and thousands of others have had to evacuate repeatedly as the monster fires have scorched through more than 10.3 million hectares (25.5 million acres) of land, an area the size of South Korea.

 

Authorities have warned that the summer fire season, spurred by high temperatures, strong winds and a three-year drought that has left bushland vulnerable, will continue until the country experiences solid rainfall.
