Yes, the BBC had an article on that earlier this morning, troubling thoughts considering the weather conditions for the coming days mean that they're not out of the trouble zone yet. I doubt that the Springwood fire will merge, but there's a good likelihood the Mount Victoria one will.

Helluva nasty situation out there right now, even the thunderstorms aren't helping since they're mostly electrical storms which spark even more fires. The firefighters really have a battle on their hands, most of them are volunteers and quite a few of them have lost their homes already.

Just have to keep everything crossed that this doesn't develop into a 2009 like scenario, that was a nightmare:
