## Caption

Bushfires are tearing through southeast Australia amid a record-breaking heat wave, destroying homes, cutting electricity, and scorching vast stretches of land. In Victoria, more than 300,000 hectares have already burned, with several major fires still uncontrolled. ⁣
⁣
Around 130 buildings have been lost, and roughly 38,000 homes and businesses are without power, marking the state’s most severe fire crisis since the 2019–2020 Black Summer.⁣
⁣
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has described the conditions as extreme and dangerous, with heat wave and fire warnings in effect across the region. Sydney has reached 42.2°C, though relief is expected later in the weekend.⁣
