A resident of Mallacoota in Victoria's East Gippsland says locals heard the sound of "explosions" as the sky in the area turned from pitch black to scarlet while fire raced towards the seaside town.
Grant Shortland, who evacuated to a boat on the Mallacoota waters during the crisis, said he heard the sound of “crackling” as the fire descended. Mr Shortland told Sky News it was impossible to see at any distance from the boat. “It was absolutely pitch black like nothing you’ve ever seen and it was raining ash.” Authorities have confirmed four people are missing and numerous homes have been destroyed as bushfires ravaged East Gippsland.
