Residents in Bornes Hill, Moyston, and Pomonal are ordered to evacuate immediately as a massive bushfire spreads through Victoria's Grampians National Park. The blaze has consumed over 40,000 hectares and is moving in a south-easterly direction, posing a significant threat to nearby communities. Authorities warn that conditions are expected to worsen, and emergency services may be unable to assist those who choose to stay.
Residents in three communities are being ordered to evacuate immediately as an out-of-control bushfire spreads, with firefighters bracing for more dangerous conditions. People in Bornes Hill, towards the south of the Grampians National Park , were told to leave immediately after an emergency was declared on Wednesday evening.
Total fire bans were declared for SA's mid-north, Riverland, Murraylands, upper south-east and lower south-east regions on Thursday, with the fire risk considered extreme. Multiple fires were also burning east of Perth and in north-west and south-west WA, and emergency services warned people to avoid the Laverton area and watch conditions in Bornholm in Albany.
