Australia and Singapore are currently working together to see what measures they can take to mitigate the crisis.

Aussie PM called on army reservists

Mr Morrison issued a call-up of army reservists to assist the firefighters, which has never been done before.

Mr Morrison asserted that the call-up was because the crisis had escalated to another level.

 

That step was taken as a consequence of the sheer scale that had moved beyond what is the reasonable expectation of any agency…

Australian firefighters who are putting their lives at risk to put the bushfires out have been criticising the PM for his management of the crisis, reports CNA.
