Australians ordered to evacuate immediately as firefighters struggle to contain bushfires raging across the country’s east coast by Colpackham
SYDNEY - Australian officials ordered people in several communities, including a major tourist destination, to evacuate immediately on Wednesday as firefighters struggled to contain bushfires raging across the country’s east coast.
Authorities issued a “leave immediately” warning, the highest level, for several areas including Noosa, a popular beachside holiday destination 150 km south of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland. “We will not have all these fires contained before then,” NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons told reporters in Sydney on Wednesday morning. “We will not have all these fires contained and locked up for many, many weeks.”
“It was just chewing up everything,” Karen Weston told Australian Broadcasting Corp of a fire near Taree on the mid-north coast.
