I wouldn't call that an arson problem. We don't have deliberately lit fires often, not even ever year. It's just when it happens they usually pick the worst possible day and it gets a lot of media attention. Also despite what certain media outlets said during Black Summer only 1% of the bushland burnt in NSW was due to arson. Source: th-cam.com/video/s23q9DkCaVY/w-d-xo.html

@@craigfirman1809 I kinda wondered if that was just media hyping it up. I remember them saying the Murrindindi Mill Fire on Black Saturday was arson, but it was just an electric paddock fence or something. I am glad that Sokaluk guy from Churchill got put away. Here in the States most fires are caused by lightning or people lighting bottle rockets out of their asses. In other words, stupidity rules the roost over here.

You are correct about that. I'm one of those dumbasses, as I had a badly malfunctioning firework that shot into my neighbor's dry grass and sumac on his hillside. Idaho takes off and burns just like California or Victoria.

No. Lots of studies have been done and only a small proportion of fires in Australia are deliberately lit

Mate there a lot of work just to going to a HR (Hazzard Reduction) pland and depending on the location you need to give for residents 24 hours notice or if there's a school, hospital near by it go up to a week notice. Brigades need to cut trail and wait for the right weather too and you need a crew and midweek a lot of brigade struggle to get crews. And that not going to aboriginal sites In the area, animals and plants that might be endangered too.

The scale was unprecedented. We have done next to no back burning since 1994, certainly not on the scale that is required to make it safe. The first nations people never allowed it to get dangerous like it is now.

@@2partiesnotpreferred226 its only environmentalists that get in the road , rfs wants to burn , npws wants to burn , state forests want to burn , the indigenous community want to burn , property owners want to burn , offroad clubs and enthusiasts want to use fire trails ( keeping them clear and open for when they are needed ) all get stifled because of environmentalists

@@imbetterthanyouis absolutely. It's the guys on the ground that know. These silly environmentalists don't know what is actually good and necessary for the environment. They think we can just fence it off and leave it be. We need to open parks and forest not lock them up.

@@2partiesnotpreferred226 there's NO part of any of the fires of the last 20-30 years with the last 10-15 being by far the worst, that is FACTUALLY or ENVIRONMENTALLY "unprecedented" to any one of the firefighters, volunteers, DSE or locals that are being killed or having houses/farms and businesses burnt to the ground, "unprecedented" is a word thrown around by uneducated (I don't mean book smarts I mean the stuff that actually counts where they've lived or worked directly with/on the land or again people who have spent their lives in a fire-prone area and know what's needed to live there as safe as they can) people who sit in areas far far away from these fire zones and create feelings based tree hugger bullshit laws and guidelines for fire management, "unprecedented" is a word to absolve these people of the guilt and criminal liability for what amounts to decisions that are directly responsible for hundreds if not thousands of human deaths, but billions of animal deaths some to the point of extinction levels as well, its ridiculous and allows for these fires to continue the way they are, stop using terms to excuse this crap and start using the obvious political interest you have to change this issue and return things to how our country on the most basic level needs to be run!

@@little_miss_sarcasm yeah ok man. Lol

we call it a monitor , because it basically sits there and monitors the fire , and yeah they are pretty cool

@@imbetterthanyouis I thought a monitor was fixed in position?

@@josephastier7421 nah they traverse you can even have de mountable ones ,we had one in blacktown rfs we used to use for tip fires ( rubbish dumps ) and pile burns its more for when you need large volumes of water for a long time and its not worth the effort of 2 guys holding a hose for that long , one guy just rotates a wheel

This ain't even close to the scale of 2019.

@@2partiesnotpreferred226 much larger in 2019, and far less whingers

if only the greenies knew that

The blue mountains fire? The fire didn’t kill any people, but! There was other extreme fires burning around the same time. If she was one of the 4 killed in the other fires I miiight believe you

Yeah, have done for years. Didn't you see them using the machinery to cut lines and put in black lines?

Didn't you watch the video?

thats a rather difficult question , backburns are an offensive tactic used during the fire to contain it , we do actively dry firefight with raft teams ( remote area firefighting team ) and dozers to make new lines where needed ,,,,,,, and here comes the but , but between fires we have a hard time maintaining these lines because have a guess who , 4 wheel drivers like to use the trail we make and we like them doing so because the constant use keeps nice and clean ,,,,,,, but guess who whats to spoil their fun too , so when we need them we have to do some work to get them up to scratch , so yeah you can see where this is going aye

Most people in my class who winge are Asian I’m full Australian and don’t give a shit.

That wasn't a miracle...it was just good fortune

That's not going to do much when a strowind is pushing the fire along.

Donald, in the Victorian Black Saturday bushfires, it was found that these fires can spot 25-30 KILOMETRES again of the main fire front. 100m on either side of the road isnt going to do a lot

hahahah if only in a perfect world , but we unfortunately have environMENTALists

@@michaelellis8726 a 100 meter fire break will reduce the radiant heat where you would really only need to worry about ember attack , people have done this on their own and some companies have packages you can buy where you have an irrigation system running off tank water and a diesel pump cleared gutters or leafguard and even colorbond fencing in combination have shown to be really effective , but just like with most things its not one solution is a number of prevention's that are better than a cure

Iñaki Buruaga Hi I am the owners brother I give you permission to use it Good luck

Tell you're father i said thank you so much for his time doing the firefighting service of his community as well as the local residents of this community brave man👍👍

Such Bravery

Callum Reavey I'm sure your dad was proud to be a firefighter

This is how God punishes evil motherfuckers.....

Callum Reavey I live on Roberts parade! What number was your house?

@@AllaahuAkbarr Hopefully you next then...twat

@@AllaahuAkbarr there is no god , grow up

Returns back to how it began. Give it 6 to 8 months and it's all green again. Fire is a necessary evil in the Australian bush.

Australia would be a desert without fire most of the seeds need to be burnt to germinate

The same forest got burnt the year after when another big fire came through, then another, then another, then another..it was last scorched in the 2019/20 season..it was scary

Jazz Jive don't walk to far in a straight line, you will fall of the flat earth

Jed Lindley 99.9% of flat earthers agreed in a concensus that the earth is flat. Strangely the same argument as the climate cult. Obviously sound science there.

hes the reason why im still here ( so blame him lol ) i wish we had him back , he knew what he was doing

He was fkn useless barstard
