I was in the RFS for 15yrs in old bar ive seen bushfires start in all types of conditions ,lightning being one seen that personally with a tree exploding 50ft from me ,glass left in the bush on a hot day and the right sun on it up she goes ,burnt out stolen or dumped cars that some idiot sets on fire we see heaps of these on the side of the expressway up hear in Newcastle ,illegal backburning ,backyard bbqs ,just a car driving down a dirt track with a hot exhaust ,cigarette butts when a small fire starts in these hot dry conditions it takes 5 mim to start spreading a fire truck is called depending
on where it has to come from gets there and you have a real fire on your hands real fast ,fires can start weeks after wards if not put out right tree roots underground burn for ages and can surface anywhere ,iam too old to go fight a fire nowdays it takes it out of you you ,the government is always short cutting equipment for the rfs you want to blam anyone they do not help people suffer ,bless the guys that do a unbelievable job fighting these monster fires
