Had to happen sooner or later IMHO when you look at how long it has been since most of it was last burnt. Especially the Jamison valley water catchment. If you consider doing fuel reduction burns of say 5% of the state every year, on the basis that each area is burnt roughy once every 20 years, we're falling way short of that - the greenies have effectively locked up the national parks and forested areas and stopped all serious efforts at hazard reduction.
Now you see the result.
