Today, two people were confirmed dead in a blaze on Kangaroo Island, bringing the overall nationwide death toll this summer to at least 21.

About 100,000 hectares have been lost to the flames, according to Australian media, with 500 firefighters continuing to work to reign in the blaze.

Flames have also engulfed large areas of the Flinders Chase National Park.

While the warning level for the fire was reduced today, the Country Fire Service said it was still a risk to lives and property.
