In a video that was published on social networks, firefighters are seen collecting water with a helicopter from an abandoned backyard swimming pool as bushfires continue to tear through Australia's southeast.
According to reports, six have been killed as a result of the raging fires in Australia. The fires have destroyed 680 houses and consumed 12,000 square kilometres of land. The fires led to a menacing increase in air pollution in the country.
