Wow, what assholes (the government) and idiots apparently. If they got trees and brushes right beside houses (which is the reason people of that village couldn't escape). Than why don't they cut it down themselves seeing how australia has constant brush fires.

I think a refund is in order.


We had a fire on our property when I was about 10, all trees
had been cleared about 50 meters from all sides of the house.
Turned out to be a good idea.

There was a guy on my block who was fined for using his loader to clear the street of snow here in Calgary.

He is still fighting it.

This could easily happen here, our governments are equally idiotic.
