Bad fire in Australia

There is a '"catastrophic'" fire in the southeastern part of Australia. Temperatures may rise to 109 degrees Fahrenheit near Sydney. There are high winds pushing the fire around (43 mph). The wind also brings the temperature down in some places so its not so hot there. 90% of the area is in a sever risk form this fire they could loose their homes or loose lives loved one form this. Because if this huge fire some people think the risk is as bad as 'black Saturday' that happened in 2009. Black Saturday killed 173 people and injured 500. Also destroying lots of homes.  There are 130 fires going on Tuesday and there were still a bunch  uncontrolled. They say no homes have been destroyed as of Tuesday. They have hot dry conditions witch doesn't help the fire can spread easily in these conditions. I would never want to live in a area where they have wildfires.
