Residents warned to ‘leave and live’ as wildfires rage in Australia
A cool change began sweeping the states of South Australia and Victoria as evening fell, bringing much-needed relief to millions of residents who have sweltered through up to five days of scorching temperatures in excess of 40C.
The baking heat has triggered thousands of wildfires since shifting from the west coast on Monday, where it triggered an inferno that razed 56 homes and claimed one life.
