Relief as rain falls over Autralian bushfires 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseRain fell across parts of bushfire-ravaged eastern Australia on Thursday and more wet weather was forecast, giving some relief following months of catastrophic blazes fuelled by climate change. So authorities had been looking forward to this week’s rain hoping it would help contain or even extinguish some fires. Fingers crossed,” the New South Wales Rural Fire Service said early this week in reference to the forecast wet weather. In New South Wales alone, 30 blazes were still burning out of control on Thursday, according to the state’s rural fire service.
