The death toll from the bushfires in southeastern Australia has risen to 210, according to police in the state of Victoria, this past Tuesday. At least 2,029 homes have been destroyed in the blazes, according to Australian news outlets. Victoria police are still working to identify all the victims of the fires that have raged earlier this month. As of late Tuesday, there were still seven fires ablaze, the County Fire Authority said, and several still posed a threat to residents.
