Day 2 of the the Bush fire crisis,
Fires continue to ravage the land destroying properties and homes.
6 fires are still uncontrollable and threatening towns and densely populated areas.
There was a confirm of 24 deaths and there is a fear that the deaths may escalate to 40.
Due to that scale of the crisis, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has placed the army on standby to assist the CFA if the fire were to worsen. The weather today shows a positive side with the possibility of rain which would greatly assist the efforts to contain the fire.
The temperature has dropped from 47 degrees Celsius yesterday to 25 degrees Celsius and the winds have slowed down greatly compared to yesterday which was blowing at a speed of 100km/h.
However there is still the danger which threatens the country as this crisis is said to be worst then Ash Wednesday which took place on 16 February 1983.
That is all for the updates. Let us pray that this crisis will be over soon.
