** Australian Bushfires **

Australian has experienced the worst bushfires in Victoria in the past few days.

I just want to thank the Australian Firefighters for doing such an incredible job in this heat & battling to keep the blazes under control.

I work for the New South Wales Fire Brigades & I see first hand the work Firefighters do!

Thanx from xjoeyx

mate as a firefighter, we are not racist and im quite sure if it was your house you'd want us to save it

[drwhotragic]

I really hope that you start taking your meds again no one in their right mind would wish what happen to the people of the Yarra valley on anyone. You mate would be hiding in a little hole shitting yourself if you had been there! Most people I know that live in the Valley including myself are NOT racist but mate if you look in the mirror you will see a racist looking back at you!!!!

I saw victims of Darwin shopping mall blasts on tele. they were in such a pain, whn i think about VIC bush fire, 173 ppl died, most of thm burned alive. i can't even imagine wht they have gone through.

I am not Aussie,ppl like RAJESHJ are talking racism after watching ths vid. such a disgusting comments. if you hate australia n' u live here,go back home mate,leave ths country

I am not an Aussie, but i wud help anyone who needs help,nationality n' religion doesn't matter WE ARE HUMAN FIRST

There was a firebug 3kms from my house today. In belgrave-sherbrook. I'm in kallista so the fire was just down the road. I'm finally getting my fire scare... ahh i hate mt dandenong!!!

BCT071 is right. the electric power industry globally causes much of the CO2 that is making the weather more extreme, and the same industry is causing sparks through rusty obsolete power lines: The Royal Commission evidence STRONGLY suggests 120 deaths from power sparks (Beechworth+Kilmore East fires). If reliable press reports suggesting conductor clash at Murrindindi are EVENTUALLY confirmed, then the power industry death score will be ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY PEOPLE BURNED ALIVE. R.I.P. :-(

Just would like to express my opinion and to thought provoke.....

Man made climate change activists within the government departments are not only the saviours but the perpetrators of Black Saturday.
