Australia Fires Map: Where Are The Fires Spreading In Australia?
Forest fires have been raging in the southeast of Australia for months, but luckily there has been some rain there.
The heat has subsided but many areas are still devastated by extensive fires. Emergency conditions also apply due to air pollution.
Museums, galleries, parks, offices and universities have been closed in the Australian capital, Canberra, where several flights have been stopped at the airport. Canberra is today the city with the most polluted air in the world.
A 3D model has also landed online showing where fires are spreading in Australia.

There are currently more than 140 fires burning in New South Wales, where the rain has brought some relief to firefighters. Unfortunately, the rainfall was not enough to extinguish major fires.
Firefighters cheering at the rain:
More than 40 fires are burning in the state of Victoria, and fiery teeth have devastated a surface area in the size of Ireland. To date, 24 people have been killed in fires, more than 1,800 homes were destroyed, and more than 500 million wildlife lost their lives.
