Although I live in victoria, i live in the suburbs not the country A lot of these places are rural but they can be reached in a few hours and the kilmore fire is just up the hume highway. Firebugs do exist some are indeed members ofthe local fire authority, for some unknown reason they start the fires to fight the fires. 181 people so far are confirmed dead with whole areas still not checked due to fire risk still. It started on Saturday where the temp in Melb (not hotter rural areas) was 47 degrees C. We also are in drought so the combination is not good. Whole towns have been lost and many many people left homeless
