Subject: RE: BS:Building in Fire prone areas - 2009 fire season
I think I read somewhere once that fires follow the same path they have taken before. A friend told me of someone she know whose home was built on a ridge in a heavily treed area, which one day was consumed in a bushfire. They rebuilt in the same place, and several years later the same thing happened. I think they have rebuilt again but know it will probably be a matter of time until their home goes up in flames. Apparently on each occasion the fire has followed exactly the same route.
