Dozens of homes destroyed in Australian wildfire

An out-of-control wildfire burning north-east of the Australian west coast city of Perth has destroyed at least 56 homes and is threatening more, with many locals in the region told it is too late to leave. The 7,000-hectare blaze, which has a 47-mile perimeter, began on Monday and raged through the night near the town of Wooroloo, with the shires of Mundaring, Chittering, Northam, and the city of Swan impacted. Western Australia’s Department of Fire and Emergency Services deputy commissioner, Craig Waters, said the fire had doubled in size overnight and burned through 7,366 hectares of farm and woodland. “Strong winds are hampering us getting in and containing the fire and bringing it under control,” he said.
