LIGHTNING has played havoc with bushland in Western Australia, igniting multiple fires that are threatening lives and homes.
IN the state's South West region, a bushfire had been threatening houses at Forrington Heights in the east of the town of Waroona.
It has since been downgraded to a watch and act advice after the blaze was contained.About 25 hectares have been burnt in hard-to-access terrain, which is thick with grass trees that throw off embers for up to 1km.A community meeting on Friday afternoon was attended by about 100 evacuated residents.A Waroona resident, who did not wish to be named, said there was concern a brewing thunderstorm could bring fresh lightning-sparked fires."They felt that overnight they would be able to manage it and that by tomorrow, the incident team would move on to another job and they would leave it to the shire," he said."I don't think they're panicked about the fire impacting the town."In the Lower South West region, an emergency alert for people 30km southeast of Manjimup and 3km south of the Muirs Highway has been downgraded to a watch and act because the blaze has been contained.In the Great Southern region, a watch and act warning has been issued for the Lake Unicup Nature Reserve area and Mordalup Road in the Shire of Cranbrook.The alert was upgraded because the fire broke containment lines after further lightning strikes.The blaze started in the reserve and is burning on neighbouring private property.It is out of control and unpredictable, and moving slowly to the northwest.Lightning has sparked several other blazes in recent days, including in a national park in the Perth Hills near a prison farm in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, and in the Midwest-Gascoyne and Pilbara regions.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
