ACT storms spoil fireworks display

FIERCE thunderstorms across Canberra have prompted almost 300 calls for help and forced the cancellation of the city's Australia Day fireworks.

The ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) said the storms, which lashed the city from around 6.30pm (AEDT), left flash flooding, fallen power lines and tree branches in their wake.

Most of the 295 calls for assistance came from residents in the northern suburbs, ACTSES said.

The ACT government cancelled the city's planned fireworks display, saying in a statement it was a necessary safety precaution due to the storms and flooding.

ACTEW AGL electricity crews were also fixing isolated power outages across the territory.
