Exploding bushfires mystery

And more. Bruce Espiln should go. No proper warnings at all were issued advising people of the severity of the conditions at the time. He knew how extreme they were and did not pass it on.

The whole fire thing IS simple. You need fuel for a fire. More fuel for a hot fire. Australian bush is highly flammable, the eucalypts are full of oil that is gassified in these conditions and explodes. And that doesn't have to happen on a slope either.
Conspiracies? I reckon the Greens in Aus are rubbing their hands with glee as they now see an excuse to get people out of the bush rather than use fuel reduction techniques.
Peter Garrett reckons fuel reduction is a 'threatening' process. WTF?

This required scientific experiments? In Australia it's quite simple... Native trees contain highly flammable oils, and when ignited/heated to the point of incineration, they explode. It's why we have some nasty fucking fires.

simple. makes sense. no debate. what the fuck were all you idiots arguing about that took up 3 pages of comments?

Well done SB, you have displayed your stupidity to millions of intelligent people.

Congratulations.

they say the marysville fires on black saturday in victoria could have been prevented if they had an half kilometer firebreak, because of the heat generagted from the flames, thats one very hot and fast fire, and it is also currenty illeagal to clear trees and shrubs in some areas of the state, and
thats all i wanter to add, yes concrete bunkers are a very good idea, it should be almost compulsory in bush fire areas

I find that comment quite immature and childish.
