Deadly Fires Rage in Southern Australia. By Sophie Tedmanson, London Times, February 8, 2009. "The deadliest bushfires in Australia's history have wrought death and destruction across southern Australia, killing scores of people, destroying hundreds of homes and razing entire towns to the ground. At the last count the toll had reached 96, but the thousands of firefighters still battling the blazes warned that they expected to find many more bodies when they reach the worst affected areas tomorrow. The fires began on the hottest day ever recorded in Melbourne and were fanned by gale-force winds."
