MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Andrews confirmed as cited by Sky News Australia on Saturday that the bushfire destroyed 85 homes in the town of Wye River and 18 in the Separation Creek coastal locality.

Earlier, Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley told journalists that 53 houses had been destroyed by the blaze with the number of damaged homes expected to rise.

Emergency warnings have been issued for several coastal areas in Victoria, as fire crews continue to battle the blaze.
