From the BBC:
More than 30 homes are feared destroyed in South Australia as crews continue to battle out-of-control bushfires. More than 800 firefighters are tackling the blazes, which have been burning for several days in the hills around the city of Adelaide. Officials say the fires are the worst in the area since the Ash Wednesday bushfires in 1983, which left 75 dead.
Cooler weather may help firefighters tame the flames, which have been fanned by high winds and temperatures.
But South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said the situation remained critical.
“We’re by no means through this particular emergency,” he said.
The two large air tankers under contract in Australia were recently relocated from Avalon to Edinburgh, presumably to be closer to the fires near Adelaide.
