Fires have torn through Western Australia’s agricultural heartland overnight with farmland scorched. Twin fires hit the Wheatbelt, about 250km east of Perth as catastrophic fire conditions throughout the region brought gusty winds and temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius. It has been revealed the fires have burned through more than 60,000 hectares of bushland, destroyed at least 6 homes and damaged businesses, sparking widespread power outages for thousands of residents. What do you think LiveTribers, could the Western Australian bushfires have been better managed/avoided?
