In plain language

A forest fire has been confirmed in Australia and is expected to remain active for about one week. The situation is currently at a moderate severity level as local teams monitor the area.

What is a wildfire? A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in wildland areas like forests or grasslands. They often start when dry plants catch fire from lightning or human activity. Once a fire begins, wind and hot weather can help it spread quickly across the landscape by feeding on dry wood and leaves.

Stay tuned to local radio for official updates and keep your windows closed to protect your family from breathing in smoke.
