The wildfires have devastated over 15,000 hectares, posing a threat to 210,000 residents, leading to a significant national and international response in efforts to control the flames.
Experts attribute the severity of the fires to climate change and neglect of traditional land management practices, highlighting the need for better fire prevention strategies.
