S.S. Blog= Wildfires in Austrailia


In Australia there was a wildfire that spread everywhere. People were told to leave or be ready to fight this outrageous fire. Princess Anne went to Wandong to meet those who are helping out in the fire. Such as, firefighters and emergency workers. This is only the day after she has returned from aboard and so much as happened. This was one of the most deadly fires known and over 750,000 people have been missing and misplaced due to the fire. The fire became bigger by the wind. The wind blew the fire around.


" It's a precaution in terms of getting people out early," said O'Callaghan, a member of Yarra Ranges Shire. Many people left in a rush. Many were in anticipation of what would happened to their home. More than 750 homes were burned and 1,200 square miles have been burned. The two governments are willing to help the ones who lost almost everything. I think that what has happened in really tragic. Australia hasn't had a big fire like this since 1983, so this must be hard for them. Many frantic drives died in their cars because they couldn't breathe or see through the black smoke.
