Tasmania Burning

As record highs strike most of Australia, wildfires are devastating Tasmania.

High winds have only added to the problems, for the island.

Fires have forced people to evacuate into the ocean, leaving them stranded for times, until boats could pick them up.

At least forty separate fires are burning on the island, four of which are raging out of control.

Over a hundred homes have been destroyed, but no deaths have been reported.
