MELBOURNE/SYDNEY - Firefighters kept wild blazes fueled by strong winds and soaring temperatures from reaching suburban areas of Australia’s capital, Canberra, using airdrops of fire retardant to create a 2.5-kilometre long defensive line late on Saturday.
Fire crews had so far been able to save all structures in the Australian Capital Territory , home to Canberra, authorities said. A major highway was closed and authorities issued warnings for some residents that it was too late to evacuate, before conditions started to ease late in the day. A second major uncontrolled fire was burning slightly further south in the Snowy Monaro region of New South Wales state on Saturday, the same alpine area where an air tanker crashed on Jan. 22 after dropping fire retardant, killing three American firefighters.
