[@legallyfree2955]

@@jacobbouknight5002 Well you dont need to stand totally corrected, I have been a firefighter in Australia for over 12 years and have only faced that personally 5 times that I can remember, and only 1 of those times was "scary" in any way (totally surrounded by trees, no clear areas for hundreds of meters, couldnt go forward up the road or backwards because of vehicles either side, we got some of the plastic parts on the truck a little bit melted). And that is attending around 150 calls per year so a total of 2000ish calls. A lot of those 60,000 brushfire callouts never spread beyond a few hundred square meters.

I'm constantly awed and horrified just how fast a fire can move.

[@mattmammone2338]

It went from 80 degree F to 1,500+ in 30 seconds or 26 C to 815+C. Even is you were underground in a steel reinforced concrete shelter, the oxygen would deplete and the carbon monoxide would increase. The shelter would need its own oxygen supply and be air tight.

[@AsymptoteInverse]

@@mattmammone2338 When I was first learning about bushfires, I saw a clip from Australian TV talking about people building underground bushfire bunkers that might not survive a fire. I think the air supply was the primary concern.

What you are seeing is a flashover event on a gigantic scale. Where the temperature gets so hot so fast that everything and anything combustible instantly vaporises and ignites in an almost explosive fashion. Utterly terrifying.

[@Adama.1]

Honestly. I feel for the plants and the trees as well. They might not be alive in the same way as we or animals are. But they are still alive. Very sad to see nature be destroyed like this.

[@2inHeartattack]

Plants & animals are very alive just as we are

[@RicketyBread]

Many Australian habitats have evolved to actually need fire. Some plant species require fire to germinate, and the ash left over is very nutrient rich for new growth. Aboriginal cultures have practiced land management with fire for centuries. Sadly the increased frequency and exposure of non-arid ecosystems to fires has been increased in recent years with climate change.

[@GjinoNRG]

Actually, wildfires are a natural phenomenon for a reason..

[@colemarie9262]

Places that have regular fires also have plants and trees that need fire for their life cycle. It sounds crazy because we humans only think of fire as destructive, but it's not always that way in nature.

As a rural firefighter, these guys were in the wrong place. The halo system is a backup. If you have to use it, you weren't aware enough of where the fire was to start with.

I hope the civilian car following the fire truck was okay. Truly scary stuff. And what happened to the driver of the car that went up the driveway and parked behind the trees?

[@tracey5324]

It pulls away at the 1 minute marker going to the left just as the final engine is accelerating away. My guess is that he was a local that wanted to ask the fire-team what to expect and when they all ran he booked it up a street he knew how to navigate. Rural properties can be riddled with long roads that technically count as driveways and could lead to open paddocks and other spots he could shelter in.
