💨 Abstract

In Victoria, Australia, three people are missing as bushfires burn out of control, destroying homes and vast areas of bushland. Authorities are battling 30 active blazes with catastrophic fire danger ratings. Extreme winds and temperatures up to 46°C are forecasted, making fires "undefendable." Two major blazes near Longwood and Walwa have burned over 55,000 hectares. The Longwood fire has destroyed multiple homes and community buildings.
