Firestorm Black Saterday Fortuna Ironbark Bendigo Victoria Live Footage

My day in the firestorm of bendigo, it came within 500m of my house, Please support and give generously to your local emergency service, whatever you can! Unfortunately not everybody was so lucky, 50 houses were raised here and a number of people have died, my condolences go out to those who have suffered such unexpected and immense loss. This fire came so quick, it was a storm of fire the likes of which I (we) have never seen.

Black Saturday.

This is a very good video. I work for "our Place' the fire recovery assistance centre in Eaglehawk, and I would really like to show this to my co-workers there so they get a really good idea of what some of the people we are helping went through.

@ChemtrailsRbad4U ....yes l have seen it on the news 4-6 weeks ago, those dirty little criminals have claimed they are disabled.

Those criminals get away with murder, legal aid and cops don't give hoot!

If that was mother and a child killed, they would be thrown in a detention center faster than you could say it, but a grown man (the victim) that has done much more for this country, no one cares!

@MRMILO57 Yes it was...and nothing has yet been done about it...disgusting.

I grew up in Eaglehawk and like everyone else, was sickened by these fires. I now live in Qld. & have just viewed your video, although it is horrifying, thankyou for sharing, as my prayers were for everyone who had to endure this disaster. Eaglehawk & Bendigo are still "home" to me and I am so saddened by this.

you're welcome..WellSightedGentleman.­.you said it came within 500m of your house...How was your house and your family? Hope,they would be fine..

[busyman0074]

It was a good video and nice music

[busyman0074]

It was a nice video and music . It made me remind of someone who used to be my friend.He said, he lives in Bendigo and on that day he drove home to help his grandma who lived alone in his house..He was shock from the firestorm because it's also close to his house..Fortunately, he and his family were safe but a lot of his neighbors became a homeless. I hope it will never happened again...God Bless you..

Continued: There fun little game, claimed the life of a man, and heaps of houses. people were left homeless. My grade 4 teacher lost her house and her dog in the fire.

While I was at my switchboard cutting the power to the house,the car across the road exploded. My doctor actually said several months later that I was VERY lucky that I was facing the switchboard at the time, because such a hit could have hurt him

That was scary as,

It was sooo hot that day!

and the sky was full of dark smoke.

WellSightedGentleman......it was mentioned on the news the other day, a 14 year old male and a 15 year old male has been charged with starting a fire up near Bendigo, and they shown the face of a matured aged fella, he died in the fire

( feel so sorry for him).

My point, some kids are far from innocent, if those 2 did light that fire, a bullet to the head would be the best for all.

Yeah
