Southeastern Australia continues with forest fire Declaration of emergency again 19 December at 13:11
In New South Wales, southeastern Australia, where forest fires continue, the provincial government has declared a state of emergency again and calls on residents to be cautious because the fire may spread due to rising temperatures or strong winds.
In New South Wales, since the 8th of last month, there have been many forest fires in various parts of the country due to air drying, and so far four people have died and more than 610 houses have been burned down.
The temperature is expected to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in some areas on the 19th, and air is expected to dry and strong winds in a wide range are expected to spread the fire.
For this reason, the provincial government has declared a state of emergency for another week following last month, calling on residents to be vigilant.
In a large area, including around Sydney, the smoke-carrying smoke has reached the “dangerous level” of the standard for air pollution, and authorities are calling attention that health effects are a concern.
The Japanese Consulate General in Sydney calls on Japanese people staying in the country to collect the latest information published by the authorities.
In all parts of South Australia, as well as in some areas of Queensland and Victoria, local authorities are increasing vigilance by banning the use of outdoor fires as fires are more likely to occur.
