Partially people are themselves responsible for the ultimate price they paid.
It is obvious to me that some overestimated their chances of survival, others fell victims of poor judgements of those who make calls in the family, community.
Ultimate >we will be all right mate< attitude.
Surely more property would be lost, but not a single human life had to be scarified in flames.

I think it's the authorities who once again underestimated the danger, it had been over 40 last week then again estimated 45 ??? it was obvious that something would very likely hapen, people should have been told to get to clear ground as soon as the forecast was known.
Not good enough to say prople should look after themselves they have to be told of the danger and told to leave.
i think that's a bit unfair mate.
Authorities have been warning the public up to a week before yesterday.
People make choices. All we can do is offer education.
Again, it is illegal to force anyone to leave their property in the event of a fire in Victoria.
I stand by what I said, the authorities have had experience of Ash Wednesday and should have known this would happen given recent weather and forecasts.
There's no excuse for this level of loss of life given the information at hand.
They did know.
That's why they have been warning the public for the last week.

In the time that you began reading this post a fire started a few kilometers away from where you are right now and within 3 minutes will level your home.
I hope that you enjoyed the last three minutes..........................................
Mr. Burns.
If you can tell the CFA where the fires will start then I'm sure they will focus more intently on those areas.
It is also a known fact that cellars are a quite dangerous place to shelter during a fire.
A: you don't know what is going on around you.
B: There is a very real chance something will fall and cover the trap door.
C: the whole floor collapes on to you.
In the last 10 years we have seen a major tree change by people moving out to the rural/urban fringe.
they move out there for the 'lifestyle' and to be 'close to nature'. These people simply lack fire knowledge believe they will get a truck come to them in the event of a major fire.
it's up to the locals and the cfa to educate them if they coose to allow themselves to be educated.
It's the whole leading a horse to water arguement.
The CFA do letter box dops then put on Fire ready Victoria sessions on street corners to gather interests from the community. Then Community Firegurd facilitators call these people and organise groups for a series of meetings to educate people on fire safety etc....
Blaming the Authorities for this well you've read my other posts on the matter. Just like you can't expect a truck in the event of a fire you also can't expect an individual warning.
This is the type of nonsense that confuses and scares people.
Houses do not burn in three minutes.
The fastest know fire was in 1939 at a speed of 15km/h
