Sydney—The deadliest wildfires in Australia’s history burned people in their homes and cars and wiped out entire towns，officials discovered Sunday as they reached farther into the fire zone.The number of deaths rose to 108 by early Monday.
Blazes have been burning for weeks in the southeastern state of Victoria but turned deadly Saturday when high temperatures and strong wind created a firestorm that swept across a fire passage of the region.A long-running drought in the south—the worst in a century—had left forests extra dry and Saturday’s fire conditions were said to be the
worst ever in Australia.
All the deaths occurred in Victoria State，where at least 750 homes were destroyed.Police said they suspect some of the fires were set deliberately，and have declared some sites in the fire zone as crime scenes.If that is the case，Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Monday，“There are no words to describe it other than mass murder.”
Thousands of exhausted(精疲力尽的) volunteer firefighters were battling about a dozen uncontrolled fires Monday in Victoria，officials said.But it would be days before they were brought under control，even if temperatures stayed down.
Residents were repeatedly advised on radio and television announcements to initiate their so-called“fire plan”—whether it be staying in their homes to battle the flames or to evacuate before the roads became too dangerous.But some of the deaths were people who were apparently caught by the fire as they fled in their cars or killed when charred tree limbs(树枝)fell on their vehicles.
At Marysville，a picturesque hilly district that attracts hikers and tourists and is home to about 800 people，up to 90 percent of buildings were in ruins，witnesses said.Police said two people died there.
Australia’s worst fires before these were in 1983，when blazes killed 75 people and razed(毁坏) more than 3,000 homes in Victoria and South Australia states.
Wild fires are common during the Australian summer.Government research shows about half of the roughly 60,000 fires each year are deliberately lit or suspicious.Lightning and people using machinery near dry brush are other causes.
