Its very sad that people died and that they didn't have much of a chance to get away from it.
The fires were not close to where I live, but on that day, at around five pm, there was this moment when the winds were very strong, I looked outside, and the sky had this orange glow - it was a bit scary and I knew that something was wrong.
I only found out today that it was around that time, the fires were most intense. The news also said the sky was how it was because of the bush fires and that people as far away as New Zealand saw a similar thing.
I have visited a few of the towns that are now completely destroyed a few years ago... I didn't spend a lot of time in them, but I was familiar with the main streets and that. To see those streets in ruins on the news gives me an odd feeling.

I doubt anyone is stupid enough to throw cigarettes out the window during a total fire ban. The fires that were deliberately lit were lit by arsonists. They should get mandatory life sentences without parole, but I think the law unfortunately allows for a maximum of 25. I think they are pushing for each death as a separate charge, so hopefully they get more.Originally posted by Some Guy
Its horrible. And i am sickened to hear that some of them where caused by arsonist and idiots throwing cigarette buts out the window on a 47 degree Total Fire Ban day.

Yeah, it looked like that. Its eerie. I can't imagine what being in the actual fire must have been like, but survivors say the sky turned black and they couldn't see a few meters ahead of them.Originally posted by acid44
