Hegarty added: “The fire is currently about 240 kilometers west of Melbourne.”

The spokesperson noted that weather conditions are gradually improving, but controlling the flames will take a long time, as the fire’s perimeter extends over more than 360 kilometers.

It is worth noting that Australia frequently faces devastating wildfires during the summer, a phenomenon that has worsened due to climate changes that contribute to increased drought and higher temperatures.
