The Australian wildfires are worse than World War three.

Australia is the sixth-largest country by land. Australia is facing more than 100 forest fires in two states, with officials warning the severe blaze is an “omen” of the oncoming fire season.

Why Australia have bushfires?          

Bushfires are common in Australia they are part of the country’s ecosystem. Areas of the country are very hot and dry, and many local plants are fiery.

Queensland and New South Wales are particularly vulnerable to wildfires in the spring and early summer. This year’s fire was in line with the Australian hot summer record, which caused the worst drought, damaged the bush and caused very little rainfall.

Although bushfires naturally flare-up, Queensland Police said a fire in the state appears to have deliberately ignited. ” Deputy Commissioner of the Queensland Police Service Steve Golshiewski said that it is very disappointing.”Not only the lives of people, including emergency services workers, are at stake, and people who do these types of activities provide the resources for police investigations. 

Forest fires have cut hundreds of thousands of acres across the state, which is extremely hot, dry and windy. Thousands of New South Wales residents have been forced to leave their homes.

Fitzsimmons says Australian permanent drought is one of the major causes of widespread outbreaks.
