Recently, Australia had a massive bush fire that affected over 1 billion wildlife animals. The numbers continue to skyrocket as they keep discovering more and more. Helpless koalas were saved by people while the fire was burning. The officials have also arrested some people for arson. Australia is experiencing one of the worst droughts in decades and their strong winds have also spread the fire more. Entire towns have been engulfed in flames and people have lost their homes, more than 17.9 million acres have been burned across six states. Shockingly, it began to rain in Australia which could bring some much-needed relief on firefighters depending on if the rain lands where it is most needed.
