Much Love and Gratitude to All the Men & Women out there doing such a Wonderful Job in the Emergency Service's all over Australia.. Regards John ❤❤

All governments need to get a grip instead of the woe is me mantra. Aboriginal people with sound knowledge of the bush could be employed to manage our national parks and strategically burn off the undergrowth as they have done for 10’s of thousands of years. Then bush fires would be managed more effectively, wildlife saved etc., etc., etc.,

[@christinehede7578]

No part of the park has been DESTROYED BY FIRE. The forests need fire for regeneration.

[@trollies4847]

oath

[@doyleelad1113]

Certainly, do grow back. That's a couple of news services I've heard using the word destroyed. Completely wrong definition and deliberately said. Misinformation? The only parts really damaged have been caused by the fire brigade where they are dropping pink fire retardant instead of waterr. A big win for chemical companies.

[@johnmead8437]

Some forest types are semi-tolerant of fire & regenerate. This usually changes the ecosystem significantly to favour some species. And if those species require more diversity & are rare, their particular niche being destroyed by fire doesn't help them.

[@christinehede7578]

@ this is true but those species can be helped to regenerate if needed

[@BrianMiller-rq3ff]

The fire was started by lightning,not firebugs

Blame budget constraints.

[@christinehede7578]

Mismanaged?

[@Maggie6-z7n]

I grew up in Victoria and summer temps around 38C - 40C (104F) or thereabouts were common place, add high northerly winds and bush fires follow, often lit by arsonists. Dark smoke filled skies blocked the sun, turning it into a red blob, it was awful. Somethings don’t ( and won’t) change. Ever!

[@brianpelle7461]

Unfortunately it was ands is part of nature and always will be.

[@Maggie6-z7n]

@ quite right… I now live in country Qld and even conservative Sky refer to usual summer temps here as a ‘heat wave’, it’s too ridiculous for words🙂

[@Jumbo-k4t]

They say Victoria has the same weather as South Australia but it gets up to 50 here

[@brianpelle7461]

@@Jumbo-k4t South Australia used to and probably will continue get temps of 50 and above.

@ Yes I'm aware of that I live here of course it doesn't help with everybody buying crap from China which is making the problem worse And the weather more unpredictable

[@roses9339]

It never ceases to amaze me, why don't they use the army? It's a war against the fires' destruction. 74yrs I've seen this. So why

[@Jumbo-k4t]

Pay attention and you'll know that they Often turn up but It's usually afterwards because they're not firefighters

[@santhoshkumar-vd7jo]

The Indian species Getonia Floribunda and Terminalia Elliptica store water in. If these are planted in those areas fire cannot move as fast as it moves now and controlling the fire would be easier.

[@Jumbo-k4t]

If you've got thousands of Gumtrees releasing flammable vapers These plants won't work and aren't natural to the area so probably wouldn't grow

[@davidrixon3549]

Where are all the first nations and chinese owners fighting fires? No where ti be seen of course

[@SeeBird686]

When they say, " Over a quarter of the National Park has been Destroyed" Does that mean it is totally destroyed? Like completely unusable forever? Or has the vegetation just burned off the top of it in the natural way it would involving fire which I believe is a normal process for the land which helps create new forest trees? Which is not good for humans or other animals at the time?

[@Bluetongue.]

Theres a big difference between a control "slow and low" burn and a uncontrolled wild fire. Once the fire gets into the canopy of these trees it can kill them rather than stimulate a regrowth response.

[@brianpelle7461]

So what happened when there was fires 4 billion years ago up to the start of human existence

[@christinehede7578]

@@Bluetongue.never heard of regeneration by seed I see. Not to mention the lignotubers below ground and if the fire is not too hot the epicormic buds below the bark. Also please explain how the fires burned cooler in the past before human intervention?
