The Australian authority declared a state of emergency because of the massive bushfire starting from last September. Wildfires frequently happen in Australia; however, it is unusual to burn more than 5 million hectares of land.
People who lived in the places near the bushfire evacuated, however most of the animals could not. An ecologist said billions of mammals and reptiles in Australia were killed. Also, the dark smoke from the bushfire affected other countries around the Pacific Ocean.
The cause of the intense bushfire was that summer at that time in Australia was much hotter and drier than usual because of drought. Firefighters tried to extinguish fires with the fire retardants; however, It was hard to be extinguished because the wildfire easily soars to another place when gust comes. Now, the bushfire crisis has ended because of rain.
