At least 50 fires were burning in early December in Victoria, and many were threatening to merge into unified, large blazes. Weather conditions over the weekend were predicted to deteriorate, making the work of firefighters even more difficult. High temperatures and far-below-average rainfall in the area have elevated the late spring fire hazard across the region.

Southern Australia was engulfed in a raging wall of fire that has claimed 300 deaths so far. Many people were burnt to death in their cars whilst trying to escape the flames that reached nearly a hundred feet into the air at times. Many homes , livestock and pets were also incinerated in the fast moving fire. Police believe the fires were started deliberately by what is euphemistically called firebugs in Australia, but this terminology does little to reflect the seriousness of this crime and the huge loss of life.

I would just like to point out that the fires have not killed at least 300 people right now. The current confirmed death toll is 181 with fears it may rise over 300 once the emergency services can get to the more remote towns.
