This is really sad. I hope everyone that’s from there stays safe.

It is a big country though.

AU is roughly the same size as the US:

Scary stuff. Hopefully everyone here in the area stays safe and makes it out.

I can not get over the size of that, just unreal. How do you put something like that out even?? From both air and ground? And hope for rain?

Maybe a dumb question, but I just wouldn't even know where to start with that.

Wow, great graphic to illustrate the situation. I had no idea how big it is. It also sounds like this isn't the first time for bad forest fires?

I pray nobody else dies. Your Prime Minister sounds like he may have some explaining to do? One of the videos I was watching showed all the smoke in Sydney. That is pretty bad. Id have to stay indoors most of the day since I have heart failure and asthma! I bet there are a good number of people in the hospital now that normally would have been ok.

Id say 90% of the country hate the cunt at the moment, I just dont see people forgetting this when next election is here (in Australia we usually just get rid of the PM if they think they will lose the election and replace with someone else in their own party)

Here is an article from November about the warnings from our Fire Service. Now shit has hit the fan and we all want him stoned to death.

Former fire chiefs 'tried to warn PM ' to bring in more water-bombers ahead of bushfire season

Twenty-three former fire and emergency leaders say they tried for months to warn PM Scott Morrison that Australia needed more water-bombers to tackle increasingly severe bushfires.
