BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Bushfire destroys town, threatens others

January 08, 2016 Reprints

Officials have said that a bushfire has destroyed a third of a town in Western Australia state, reported BBC News.

Property loss in Yarloop is "significant," said a local politician. The bushfire is still out of control and threatening other towns. The fire that reached heights of 50 meters was fanned by wind gusts of up to 60km/h. The fire has burned through over 50,000 hectares.
