SYDNEY, NOVEMBER 11 - The fire emergency in three Australian states continues at the highest levels: in New South Wales, where a catastrophic danger was declared in the peripheral area of Sydney and in the neighboring regions; in the north in Queensland, and with less extent and intensity in Western Australia.
In this fire season still in its infancy, over a million hectares of land have remained incinerated on a continent suffering from a severe drought, equal to the total of the three previous seasons. Three people have died so far in the flames, at least 150 properties have been destroyed, but the number is destined to increase as the land is accessible.
