The death toll is astounding already. That many deaths from wildfires are virtually unheard of here in the USA. I think the ecology is so different that the nature of the fires are much different there than what we know here in North America, even in southern California where there are many introduced species from Australia. I guess the heat and the extended drought, combined with trees and shrubs that are ultra-flamable, even explosive, are the difference. Do you think that is the case Rowan? Joybell?
