Australia Is Burning Like Never Before. The country launched the largest military operation in its history since World War II, not to fight a country enemy but to combat the bushfire crisis that took over the lands of Australia as 140 blazes have devoured more over 12 million acres.

To stop the fires, which are only getting worse as Australia endures high temperatures and windy conditions, the government is mobilizing more than 2500 army reservists, naval ships, and aircraft to help evacuations and combat fires. “It is the first time that reserves have been called out in this way in living memory,” said Linda Reynolds, Australia’s Defense Minister. The conflagrations are expected to worsen due to climate change.
