"the pattern of fire spread often reveals a predictable pedestrian rate of 16–20 km/h for the maximum fire speed."

Thats your Sclerophyll forest. As the wind oscillates, its change in direction progressively picks up the flames on the flank, giving the appearance of a wave of flame actively travelling down the edge of the fire.


settled?

bogans are stupid. you don't see many people dying in californian fires do you?

that's because they're forced to exacuate. arnie gets in there and tells them all to "Gedout of here".

seriously though, there must have been early indicators. the bogans probably thought they could house down the fires using their garden hoses. and now they're dead. fucking idiots.
Yeah, bogans are stupid but you are stupid too.

no, theyre looting the houses which have been evacuated but didn't burn down because the fires changed direction or whatnot

maximum fire speed maybe, but spot fires can ignite fires up to 7 or 8 km ahead, therefore the fire will cover a greater distance in a shorter amount of time.

As with most fires, these people's houses actually caught alight before the main fire front got to the house.
