Australia is facing its largest bushfire crisis in the nation’s history.
Since September, bushfires have ravaged approximately 14.6 million acres of bushland, towns and national parks. According to reports, 21 people have been pronounced dead, more than half a billion animals have been killed, and more than 1450 homes destroyed with figures set to climb.
In the wake of the bushfires that continue to devastate the country, Cranes and Lifting is urging the crane industry to come together to support national initiatives contributing to relief efforts.
