Bushfires in Australia’s Victoria state have killed one person, as parts of the country face another day of soaring temperatures.
A body was found in the Northern Grampians area. Authorities say the bushfire in the area is out of control and have told residents to evacuate.
There are also blazes in the states of South Australia and New South Wales, with several fire alerts in place.
South-east Australia has faced days of soaring temperatures.
Police say they are treating the death in the Northern Grampians as “occurring as a result of the fires”.
Earlier this week, hot weather led to power outages for tens of thousands of households and play at the Australian Open tennis tournament was briefly suspended.
Both Melbourne and Adelaide experienced weather above 40C (104F) on Friday.
There were at least 43 blazes in Victoria, 16 in South Australia, and 12 in New South Wales on Friday, authorities said.
