Saw this on the news, there were tattlings that it was started deliberately. Or am I imagining things?

@onetoughherring , take a look at a map of Australia you'll notice there's a thin band of green mainly along the east coast then the rest of the place is yellow for desert, there's not alot of choice's for places to live here - were I live is actually classed as being in a desert and its a major city with a population of over 1 million (Adelaide).

My inlaws got a phone call from my sister in law yesterday ,where she live's in Victoria has fires all around , they can't see the fires themselves (But they could be seen from the local town),and their getting ash falls - Churchill's about 1/2 an hours drive from where she live's .

I am sorry to hear of the fires down under my brothers and sorry for the loss of life...Australia you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thks Kiwi for some of the explanattions of how and why a fire out back there can spread like that....as was pointed out by Firewall we here in AZ and California know first hand how dry wind and fire destroys.

Again my thoughts and prayers.

Only in some of the fires , including Kingslake and thats only that its 'Unlikely" they were arson http://www.theage.com.au/national/ar...0211-84sz.html

Problem they got is the fires were so intense and wide spread its going to be very hard to workout Where they started ,let alone How they started
