http://www.euronews.net/ Bush fires in Western Australia have destroyed at least 20 homes and forced the evacuation of hundreds of people.
More than 100 firefighters have been brought in, while planes have been used to drop water on the afflicted areas.
The fires have spread over 1800 hectares, threatening farms, forests and vineyards in the Margaret River wine region.
It began as an authorised burn in a national park about 280 kilometres south of Perth. But as the area was hit by high winds the fire quickly spread and the situation grew out of control
