In the southern part of Australia people were asked to evacuate their homes because of the brush fire warning issued today. The warning system was put in place to alert people more efficiently after the devastating fire in February. The past fire took 170 lives and destroyed over 2,000 homes. The anticipated heat wave is said to come with temperatures as high a 104 F and last into the weekend, causing the issuing of the "catastrophic" fire warning.
