"Australia fires" Preventing the spread | BBC English News | Everyday Big News
Well sir David talk there
about the wildfires that have devastated parts of Australia hundreds are still
burning mainly across the southeast of the country,
Where the authorities are
desperately trying to prevent them from spreading further there are at least
eight weeks of the bushfire season still ahead time.
I rejoined one fire crew in
New South Wales the fires eating the land have burnt from the mountains to the
sea in between eucalyptus bottlebrush,
And pine it's hard to save
the forest that you save Australia fires man is having a terrible time trying to stop what Mother
Nature is doing to us,
But this would definitely be
the worst fire the season that I've seen and most of my colleagues would have
ever seen you see the wind really you know influences what the father's doing
Zeb is charged with protecting two and a half-million acres of forest in a
state of New South Wales.
Several villages and towns
are just a few miles away right in the path of oncoming flames there will be
then a cut able and so,
Windy Zeb's team has already
cleared some scrub taking away fuel for the fire but wisps of smoke are
creeping through like water under a door how long before the main fire front
appears.
It's been a long bushfire the season for saving this crew days bizarre when the smoke blocked out the light
of the Sun and frightening days when people died but time's running out to stop
the latest blaze spreading more of the forest.
Needs to be cleared to
create a big enough fire break it's a real shame to have to do this but these
fires this season are not behaving normally,
If we don't start putting
these breaks in to stop it more fires are just gone burn and nearby back
burning Zeb's team deliberately ignites part of the forest of destroying fuel
for the oncoming monster.
Well these Australia fires were lit just what a couple
of minutes ago and you can see how it has taken hold blown by these really
strong winds.
These are the conditions
that the authorities have had to deal with during this appalling bushfire
season night and day Australia fires are being deliberately lit by emergency crews.
This the neighboring state
of Victoria but are the latest attempts to hold back the fire front working so
that's about the last of it isn't my yeah it's all lit up now good job done
take most of it well done.
Let's got that contain
anyway though and his team have won this battle but is Australia winning the
war are we having a go.
