Deepest respect for the courage and engagement of all these many men still fighting. I wonder whether I would have the nerves for this job, i doubt I would. Had experience with a house basement partially in flames once, must not have that again.
It all looks like something from Hironymus Bosch.
I read these fires are so monumental now that they create their own climate zone and according wind- and pressure-zones.

In one clip on the BBC last night people were standing on the beach preparing to wade into the sea if necessary.
The fire at that point was less than fifty metres away.
