you know who i blame the black saturday bushfires for?? GREENPEACE!!!!!!!!!!!! the fucking treehuggers whinge and cry about the government doing some fuel-reduction burning off to help prevent these fires in the first place so they stopped. then we had a buildup of tonnes and tonnes of dry sticks and leaves & dry shit like that. then the black saturday bushfires came along. then 173 people died. so whos to blame?? work it out.
as an example I lived in st. andrews (sth of kinglake) until 3 yrs ago. we had 2 pumps (elec & petrol) and underground pipes to the corners of our 2 acres, good hoses, mudbrick tanks, concrete roof, cleared ground - the whole lot, as dad was once a firey.
if we were still there we'd have died getting the pumps going - the fires moved that quick. it was 2km by dirt road under overhanging trees to get to the main road. kind of scary to think of.
most certainly , wierd aint it ... it's been soooo quick even with brilliant fire plans and pumpers on scene - there's nothing anyone could've done much in alot of these area's ... with places like Kinglake .. resources meant not one thing ! ..and the amount of places effected as it spreads is incredible
amazing that this huge fire from Feb 1983 never get's much detailed media footage of it , just little hopeless snippets basically ..it's certainly something i'll never forget or that days massive dust storm ...never seen anything like it + 43 c on top of it all, so eerie.
i can't see 1983 been repeated to that extent again though, 1997 yes, but not 83' not with today's - resources, speed, communications & better knowledge.
their right about one thing though, people have'nt learnt, not one bit.
