WA bushfires linked to climate change as at least five homes lost

About 1,000 firefighters are managing four blazes which reached emergency risk level in the state’s south.




 At least five homes have been lost in Western Australia and 60,000 hectares razed in one of the most challenging bushfire periods in recent memory, and one the state’s fire and emergency services commissioner has linked to climate change.

About 1,000 firefighters are managing four blazes which reached an emergency risk level over the weekend in southern parts of the state.

Emergency warnings for residents in the eastern wheatbelt and south-west town of Bridgetown were downgraded on Monday to watch and act, however authorities warned there was still a possible threat to lives and homes.

WA’s Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) said one home had been lost in Bridgetown, along with sheds, vehicles, fences and equipment.
