Unprecedented Fires Are Raging Through Aussie Bush And Residents Are Calling For International Help
Unprecedented forest fires are ripping through Australian land right now.
There are reportedly 150 fires burning across the states of New South Wales and Queensland, many of which may not be contained for many weeks, due to drought.
The fires have tragically taken the lives of four people, homes have been destroyed, families have been evacuated, and it’s unclear when firefighters, who are working day and night, will conquer the blaze according to international reports. Authorities are warning of extremely dangerous conditions.
