Well, I'm okay but then I live nowhere near the locations that got burnt/are burning, just in between them amongst the urban sprawl Melbourne's
becoming. I have driven through the forests that caught alight and the excess of ground cover, fallen branches & dead trees noticeable from the main road
was of major concern to me. In the past before the government land management got both centralised and the 'green bug' they used to regularly go out
maintaining fire breaks & fuel levels so that a bushfire would be easier to control.
I know of some state forests where the CFA will not go into if a fire occurs because of there being no safe access for them on the ground. Nor a nearby water
source.
Ayep, welcome to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. If a flood, a bushfire, the heat, a shark, or a snake don't get you; a truck, train or car might.
