The conditions will be the worst the state has seen since the Black Summer bushifres of 2019-20. The Country Fire Authority’s Jason Heffernan called it “a very dire bushfire day”.
Two major fires are burning in the state – one in Longwood, where residents have been warned to leave; and another in the Mount Lawson State Park along the Murray River near Walwa, which is now generating its own fire-fuelled thunderstorms.
