SYDNEY - More than 20 homes have been destroyed by spring fires in Australia, officials said on Wednesday, straining communities already suffering under the region’s worst drought conditions in living memory.
“I’m extremely concerned ... this is going to be a horrible bushfire season,” state premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney. Australia’s air temperature has warmed over the past century, according to a state of the climate report in January, increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events like drought and fires.
Fire services are also monitoring blazes in the state of Queensland, while high-risk fire alerts have been issued in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.
