Terrifying. I feel as though I should be holding my breath.
I have been a volunteer bush fire fighter for the last 20 years . The last 200 years the new settlers learned the hard way from the aborigines the last 5 years the system has changed to lunacy.
For 40,000 years aborigines used their only farming tool, fire, if they got it wrong they burnt or starved. That is Australia's vegetation. Adapted to low heat fires every 1 to 50 years . The new settlers soon learnt low heat fires were needed depending on vegetation and location from every year to the right year in the first / second etc decade.
We now have green moron NIMBIES with new laws.
THEY are KILLING PEOPLE ANIMALS and FORESTS It is now practically impossible to do controlled burns when and where needed. We instead have Atomic bomb levels of fuel waiting for a spark from shoes to electricity lines. Resulting in KILLer fires completely uncontrollable . One you start an atomic bomb you need a supersonic jet to get away all other protection is usless.
Since humans listen for years to spurts (A drip under pressure) I predict another 5 to 10 years and 1000s of deaths till we lock the spurts away and return to the sanity of controlled low heat winter fires. We will in every summer have hot windy days, the only thing humans can control is the fuel available.
