i know it's not much compared to the Victorian bushfires, but shit..it's close..

To make matters worse, 4 houses in my town 2 weeks ago burnt down within 3 days. One only 10 houses up from me. Yeah, Australia has it bad bushfire wise this year.

Yeah it's pretty bad.
I live in Victoria.
Where on Feb 7th 2009. Over 190 people have being confirmed dead.
From over 40 bushfires that sparked up in one day and has destroyed hundreds and hundreds of homes and whiping out little towns.

Yeah those Victorian bushfires are all over the news around here at the moment. They travel damn fast, you could see that just by watching the footage of it.

We're getting fires here too, but they aren't as bad as what you guys have got atm.


 :ps: There was a massive fire a few weeks ago which got so close to Port Lincoln where half my family lives, and where I visit once a year.

It was confirmed that atleast some of them were set on purpose. The Arsonists who set these fires have now been classed as Mass-Murderers. I hope they burn in hell. Australia is such a beautifull country, and to see this happen breaks me. My heart goes out to all of the people living in Australia during this disaster.

the guy/guys that made that fire should be put in jail for life for the disaster they made and if you are so close to that fire why are you still there :O
