Thousands of people fled their homes and helicopters dropped supplies to towns at risk of nearby wildfires as hot, windy conditions Friday threatened already fire-ravaged southeastern Australian communities.

The danger is centred on New South Wales and Victoria, Australia's most populous states, where temperatures and wind speeds are escalating after a few days of relatively benign conditions.

"If it is safe to get out, then you must get out. That is the only way to guarantee your safety," Andrews said on Thursday. The military has already been involved in the unfolding crisis by clearing roads closed by fallen trees, burying dead cattle and sheep and providing fodder to surviving livestock.

Temperatures in the threatened area were expected to reach into the mid-40s Celsius on Friday, and conditions remained tinder dry. "There'll be the reviews that take place as you'd expect and I've indicated in response to questions that we'll be working closely with state and territory authorities on how they're undertaken," Morrison told reporters. "The links and implications here have been acknowledged."
