Fires Update
The number of fires has been reduced to a dozen, and more help is arriving all the time, including help from the US with fire aftermaths, including protecting the water shed and preventing erosion if it does rain. They are also doing some controlled burning, now that the weather is cooperating, to remove fuel from the next fire, as well as increasing the containment of the current fires.
It is important to remember that there are about two months of summer to go in Australia, so the threat is nowhere near over.
