Australia is literally on fire this fall. Due to the abnormal heat and drought, the forest is on fire. More and more new sources of ignition appear. A particularly terrible firestorm is raging in the states of Victoria and New South Wales. A state of emergency was even introduced there. Many people are forced to flee from the raging elements without looking back. Throwing everything away. Even their beloved pets.
Australian wildfires are breaking records this year. Climate change has brought with it an abnormal forty-degree heat, and strong winds help spread fires. Firefighters do not have time to fight the fire. Authorities are advising residents of some hazardous areas to abandon their homes and flee. Because if they delay, no one can save them.
The fire destroyed almost one and a half million hectares of forest. The capital of Australia was covered with thick smoke. The level of air pollution in Sydney is already 10 times the norm. Residents are advised not to leave their homes. Many people wear protective masks.
Wild animals flee in fear, desperate to escape the terrible fires. Already 350 koalas have died. These gentle animals are especially susceptible to any unpleasant phenomena. They can survive only if they manage to climb very high on some tree so that the fire quickly passes below. In the hope of help, they run to the people. Sometimes people had to flee the flames in such a hurry that they lost their pets. Or they were so scared that they ran away in panic themselves, not knowing where.
Some owners simply did not have time to pick up the animals, so quickly they had to run away. Some lost their pets in a panic and could not find it later. To give the animals a better chance of survival, the owners let them out of the pens.
People are scared and worried about the fate of their pets. After the fire, those who returned to their places of residence are looking for their pets. People post photos of pets on the Internet, in the hope that one of the rescuers or neighbors will meet their pet.
People are looking for lost cats, dogs, horses and even parrots. Some are found, but many remain missing.
Experts fear that uncontrolled forest fires could develop into such a mega-hazardous phenomenon as a firestorm. It occurs when fires are so intense that even very strong winds are unable to dispel the smoke. A vertical pillar is formed from it, which can reach 15 kilometers in height. It is a pillar of heat and moisture. Air currents instantly spread the fire, increasing the area of the fire. Ash and smoldering pieces of heat fly in all directions, and the flame becomes almost invincible.
Man is powerless before the elements. It is impossible to predict how the fire will spread further and when it will finally end. The inhabitants of the Green Continent are still in great danger. But their pets are in even greater danger. Unadapted to survive in extreme conditions, most of them, unfortunately, are doomed. Climate change is a disaster that can lead to a global catastrophe, as you can read about here.
