Bushfires in Australia are frequent during the hotter months of the year, due to Australia's mostly hot, dry climate. Annually, such fires impact extensive areas.
Earlier this year, a devastating bushfire that has destroyed more than 80,0000 hectares of forest and land in the south-west of the state of Western Australia was declared a national disaster.
