In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Australia and is expected to burn for several days. Officials have assigned it a severity level of two, which helps local teams monitor and manage its progress.

What is a wildfire? Wildfires are unplanned fires that burn through natural areas like forests or brush. They often start when conditions are very hot and dry, sometimes triggered by lightning or human activity. These fires use dried plants, leaves, and trees as fuel to grow and spread across the landscape.

Keep windows and doors closed to block out smoke, and always follow the official evacuation maps provided by your local fire department.
