Australia Forest fires broke out again near the capital Canberra area forcing the city airport to close today.

An Canberra airport spokesman confirmed flights to and from the Australian capital were suspended around midday today to make room for "aerial fire fighting operations".

Rising temperatures and strong winds have caused major fires to resume in some parts of eastern Australia, after days of heavy rain. The Emergency Response Agency said the fire south of Canberra airport was raised to an emergency alert level this afternoon.

"People in the suburbs are in danger and need to seek shelter immediately when the fire spread," the agency issued a warning.

Canberra Airport has been used to support the fight against forest fires for months, but this is the first time airport operations have been suspended.

Australian bushfires over the past several months have been devastating, devastating millions of hectares of forest and killing about one billion animals. Australian officials have worked hard to cope with the crisis with support from many countries such as the US, Canada and New Zealand.

Forest fires often occur in Australia in the summer, when the weather is hot and dry, causing the fire to easily spread and spread quickly. However, this year's wildfires came abnormally early, from late July, and lasted for months. Most states in Australia now experience wildfires, but Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia are the places most affected.
