Exactly, patriot. This is what I'm saying, it's so obviously not a "forest fire" by any means. I live in Australia, I fought many REAL bush fires, including the Black Saturday fires in which a lot of people where trapped by burning trees over roads and died. These people weren't trapped by debris, they were INCINERATED in their fucking cars as they tried to escape whatever the hell was happening! NONE of the bush burned!! JUST WTF...

Another Aussie here - my parents block got burnt out in bushfires 3 years ago ... and the radiant heat from a thick bushland bushfire and the firestorm that precedes the fire front burns indiscriminately - everything flammable in its way gets torched. The only thing that slows it down is grassland.

I'm sorry for your parents loss, bush fires are wild, especially once the wind gets on them. You're absolutely right, the fire front burns INDISCRIMINATELY. This bull shit with houses burnt literally to the ground (which again, doesn't happen in natural bush fires - where is the ash? the charcoal? the metal? Something should remain, not just perfect white foundations) while the trees and grass sit untouched around it is just insanity. It reminds me of 9/11. Those towers crumpled like cards but all the paper in the world was flying down the street untouched. Fire can melt steel beams but not paper? Just wtf. Something is very, very wrong here,
