Hundreds of thousands of hectares have already been destroyed, and multiple communities are packed in evacuation centres, many not knowing if they will have homes to go back to as the threat shows no sign of subsiding if conditions don t ease.
Dozens of Australian crews are now in the fire-zones, working hard to protect lives, properties and assets in impacted areas with experts suggesting the overall cost from the fires could reach billions of dollars.
NSW Fire and Rescue Superintendent Gregory Wright is deployed at the Kenora 51 fire which has been burning for several weeks and destroyed over 170,000 hectares near the Ontario-Manitoba border.
