That's all true Bill but a lot of work has been done since "Ash Wednesday" (16 February 1983. I remember this clearly because I was 17 at the time)
So far no loss of human life has been reported but during "Ash Wednesday" 28 people died and as a consequence a lot of mandatory safety measures have been put in place.
Meanwhile... The fire is still burning but our CFS (Country Fire Service) are doing a great job.
