    It was because it didn't burn so much, and because it burned very slowly, so the fire lasted for 6,000 years.

    It may not have been resolved, or it may be that there are some security risks, so it can last for so long. There may not be many capable people to solve this problem now, and it has exceeded 100,000 square kilometers.

    I think it's probably because it doesn't have enough burning material, and its burning process is very slow, so it will last for a long time.

    Australia is vast and sparsely populated.

    Every year in the southern hemisphere, spring and summer are the months of Australia, which is the wildfire season in Australia. However, the fires that began burning in the country last year have been burning for a much longer time and scale than in previous years, and even surpassed the Amazon forest fires in South America that attracted global attention last year, and spread into a catastrophe.

    As of January 14, the southeastern Australian bushfires have been burning for four months, from the most economically developed and densely populated southeastern coastal areas, to Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, there are bushfires burning in almost every state in Australia.

    With the fires still burning, the impact on Australia's overall economy remains "highly uncertain".

    Summers in Australia are hot and dry, and bushfires are not uncommon, but 2019 saw a significantly earlier and larger scale than usual.

    Since the start of the bushfire season in Australia in July 2019, high temperatures and drought have been the main causes of bushfires.

    According to meteorological data over the past hundred years, Australia has become hotter and hotter. Average temperatures across Australia have risen and record-breaking temperatures have been repeated.

    Drought is also sweeping through Australia. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology announced in December last year that this past spring was the driest in Australia's history, with an average of about 100 millilitres of rainfall in the past November, but only 18 millilitres in 2019, and the drought will continue in the coming months.

    Forest fires are often greatly affected by three natural factors: meteorology, vegetation and topography. Combustibles are the basis of forest burning.

    The southeast of Australia is densely forested, of which eucalyptus and maple trees account for up to 90%, eucalyptus bark is rich in eucalyptus oil, they fall off and accumulate at the roots, when the temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, it will spontaneously combust, which is very easy to cause forest fires.

    In addition, Australia's vast and sparsely populated area, the staggered distribution of cities and forests, and the lack of large rivers in the inland areas also led to a certain extent that there was no obstacle to the spread of fires.

    In fact, although they are all called fires, forest fires are different from ordinary urban fires, but are large-scale "natural disasters" like **, tsunamis, and hurricanes. Once it develops to large-scale burning, it is difficult for manpower to effectively intervene and control it.

    However, in the early stages of the fire, human intervention can still make a big difference.

    Experts pointed out that the Australian federal government underestimated the scale of the forest fires this time, and the response to the disaster relief work was slow, and there was a lack of overall coordination for a long time, so it was questioned and criticized by the public.

    In addition to the misjudgment of the Australian Federation** on the forest fire, another important reason for the raging forest fire is the poor coordination and division of labor between the federal and local governments.

    Under Australian law, states and territories** have the primary responsibility for natural disasters such as bushfires, and the Village Fire Service is the backbone of fighting bushfires, with volunteer firefighters as the main members.

    Under normal circumstances, the federal government will not provide additional support if the local government does not request it.

    On the 12th, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison publicly admitted for the first time that the response to wildfires and climate change was ineffective.

    The bushfires in Australia are not unmanaged, but they are not managed urgently, because the living area is too large, the scale is too large, and the best can do it, so it has led to the current situation.

    Why is Australia's fires unattended? It may be that it was not paid enough attention at the beginning, and after the fire spreads, it can no longer be stopped, which will cause the current consequences.

    Australia is vast and sparsely populated. There are so few people that they can't manage it.

    This has something to do with the management of Australia, and the fires are almost out of control before someone starts to manage them, which is really irresponsible.

    Hello! It hasn't been extinguished yet, and the fire still can't be controlled.

    Bushfires in Australia have been raging since last September and have not yet been extinguished, killing at least 29 people and killing hundreds of millions of animals. At the same time, the air pollution caused by the wildfires has turned the lives of local people upside down.

    The British newspaper The Guardian said on January 18** that the air pollution caused by the Australian bushfires was "suffocating". Ongoing bushfires have blanketed much of the country's east and south in smoke for days on end over the past few months, with cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra making it to the world's worst air quality list.

    extinguished. Australian bushfires are wildfires that occur frequently during Australia's hot, dry season. There are large areas of land that are destroyed every year, causing property damage and human life**.

    Australian officials announced that since Australia entered the bushfire season in July 2019, high temperatures and drought have been the main reasons for the ravages of bushfires. From the most economically developed and densely populated coastal areas of the South East where NSW and Victoria are located, to Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, there are bushfires burning in almost every state.

    As of July 28, 2020, Australian bushfires may have killed 3 billion animals.

    The fire was extinguished some time ago due to heavy rain!

    But it also caused a flood, which also caused some harm!

    1. Australia's arid climate and oil-rich eucalyptus forests mean that forest fires are one of the inevitable sights in the country.

    2. The Melbourne fire, according to **, is first of all due to the severity of the fire. Victoria has been under control of high temperatures for the past week, with temperatures of 43 degrees Celsius lasting for a week, a record since 1908.

    By the time bushfires began raging on Feb. 7, temperatures in Melbourne, the state's capital, had risen to 46.4 degrees Celsius. Prolonged heat and drought have made the wildfires more likely to spread, while winds of up to 115 kilometers per hour and some incidents of arson have accelerated the spread of the fires, engulfing many people in flames before they have time to flee their homes.

    1. High temperature weather and drought are the main reasons for forest fires.

    2. Australian bush fires (English: bush fires in Australia) are frequent wildfires that occur in Australia's hot and dry season. Land with significant disparities is destroyed every year, causing property damage and human life**.

    3. The flora of specific Australian ceremonial areas depends on bushfires to reproduce, and fires often occur alternately, becoming an important part of Australia's ecology. For some eucalyptus and punk trees, fire can cause the seeds to crack and take root. The fires also spurred the creation of new vegetation, and some other species were able to recover quickly from the losses caused by the fires.
