Earlier in the week, a fire at Dolphin Sands reached emergency levels, posing a significant threat to the area.

This devastating blaze swept through more than 700 hectares, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Over a dozen homes were lost before firefighters managed to contain it over the weekend.

In Tasmania, the fire danger remains a concern. Out of the state’s 11 districts, the Midlands and Western regions face high fire danger ratings on Wednesday. Fortunately, forecasts suggest all areas will either be downgraded or remain at a moderate fire danger level by Thursday.

Meanwhile, New South Wales has not escaped the wrath of fires this month. The state has been grappling with numerous blazes, with 45 Advice level fires reported as of Wednesday morning, underscoring the ongoing threat to communities.
