This is just absolutely awful.
Fourteen people are dead and at least 100 homes have been destroyed as fires burn over tens of thousands of hectares in Victoria and New South Wales.
Six have been killed at Kinglake, four at Wandong, three at Strathewen and one at Clonbinane. Police fear up to 40 people may have died.
Victorian Deputy Police Commissioner Kieran Walshe says he expects the toll to rise.
"Based on the fact we're only just getting into areas, these have been very significant fires, our concern is that it can get worse," he said.
Police say they will strive to confirm the identity of the people killed by the morning.
Victoria is bearing the brunt of the inferno with eleven major fire fronts.
