Australia Bushfires are only getting worse in the coming days. Moreover, an emergency warning has already been issued for Kangaroo Island in southern parts of Australia as extreme fire has been causing breakouts along the region.
Officials have stated that operations of firefighting will continue for a few days on the island. Moreover, areas in fire zone vicinity on the Island are dangerous to people and people have been requested to keep out of any harm’s way.
Over 150,000 hectares have been torched in Kangaroo Island and around 650,000 litres of water has been dropped using 182 bomber drops. There are 200 firefighters working on the island as of now. In fact, one third of the Kangaroo Island has already been torched.
Moreover, people in many parts of Victoria have been advised to leave their homes, as conditions are going to get really bad tomorrow. 5 percent of Victoria has already been torched. Today, residents of East Gippsland and adjoining northeastern parts, which are at risk, have been receiving text messages asking them to evacuate before a heat spike tomorrow.
Temperatures will settle over 40 degrees Celsius, and winds will be southwesterly which will only cause more blazes. The Victorian Premier has asked people to pay heed to warning texts and leave as a clearer signal could not be provided.
There are chances that due to these winds, several fires may merge together to create a mega blaze, which will only make the situation all the worse.
