The Country Fire Service warned people on the island, where two people have already died, that 'heat from the fire will kill you.'
Residents on Kangaroo Island, located off the coast of South Australia, have been warned their lives are being put in danger by the out-of-control wildfires that have already destroyed homes and wildlife.
In a statement on Thursday, the CFS said that the south coast of the island, between Stun Sail Boom and Seal Bay, was a particularly dangerous area. The 1,700-square mile island is Australia's third-largest and has a population of around 4,700, according to government figures.
