Due to the wildfires being out of control, Victoria, Australia, issued an evacuation order at the highest danger level for hundreds of residents in the western part of the state on the 21st. According to Reuters, the evacuation order affects areas about 240 kilometers west of the state capital, Melbourne, near Grampians National Park, including towns such as Horsham with nearly 500 residents. The Victoria emergency services department reported that one fire spot ignited on the 17th due to lightning and rapidly spread overnight. As of now, the burned area has exceeded 280 square kilometers, and 'leaving immediately is the safest choice before the situation becomes dangerous.' According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, approximately 400 firefighters are fighting the fire, using more than 100 water tankers and 25 aircraft. Gary Cook, an official from the Australian Fire Service, told the media that as the wind has lessened, the fire situation has stabilized. (Xinhua News Agency)
