2 million Hectares
 

Drought and 2 million hectares of bush burnt out and summer is only 7 days old
If any one is interested log on to fires near me and check it out

Yeah, I heard something about that. IIRC, it started with a Dwelling Fire and spread. :bigeyes:

Yeah Roland that was one of them , smoke enveloping Sydney and environs for weeks now
The Climate change do-gooders are partially to blame as no hazard reduction burns or fire trail clearing is available to our fire-fighters thus making the task of control exceedingly difficult
Oz

Yeah, sounds like the similar situation in the State of California.

And a quite familiar scene to the folks here in MT. Last summer was
the first in 15 years we haven't spent the summer enveloped in smoke.
I feel for the pain you have living and breathing in that environment.
I wish you luck only I don't really know what that means.

Eucalyptus trees burn hot and bright , heard somewhere that those trees in California came from Australia (cannot confirm or deny)

We are now up to 3.5 million hectares and the Navy is having to evacuate Australians to a safer place
And we are not done yet as I type we are under extreme weather with a temp of 45c today
Those people who advocated/forced no Hazard Reduction burns should be held responsible for culpable manslaughter as we have lost 36 good Aussies so far due to fires
Please pray for rain
Oz

Have the same problem here Oz.

Hope you get some rain ! Feel bad for all the people dealing with it and the wildlife ! wish I could send some of the Pa. rain your way !!
