I wish I had the skills to light a fire with a green glass bottle. Bear Grylls may be interested in that one.
That's most likely come from the caption below the bottle pic being misconstrued.
It says the ignition point was "near", not from.

In reply to questions relating to that article, this is what Police Commissioner Gary Burns said in a media interview.
“We’re not going to go to the court unless we’ve got all the evidence available,”
"We're looking at the incinerator, how it ignited in the incinerator is another aspect that we're looking at."

"Detectives are talking with the home owners and obviously there will be forensic evidence that they will be looking at."

Mr Burns said there were a whole range of charges that were possible in relation to fires that were lit where bans were in force.
"Lighting fires on banned days is an offence in itself," he said.


He confirmed that authorities were not investigating any other potential causes.

It's going to suck up there today and tomorrow, high 30s and multiple wind changes again.
The firies and emergency crews have been incredible, hopefully they all remain safe.
Fingers crossed loss of life remains at zero.

All I said was let's not hang him until he's found guilty. We do have an innocent till proven guilty policy in Australia.
Broken glass has been blamed many times for fires.
If it's proven he lit the furnace and the fire was due to his actions then throw the book at him.

If you havent heard already - its been raining in the Adelaide Hills.

Its been raining here for around 6 hours - started lightly and its just kept building all the while - now its quite heavy rain and the ground is sodden - so if Ground Zero has the same rainfall - hopefully there wont be anything smouldering by morning.

Its a big relief for those who have been on edge for the last few days and an enormous relief I am sure for those in the immediate vicinity and especially for all those who havent been allowed back to their homes since it started.
And also all the volunteers who have worked hard and long in some awful conditions away from their own families and homes.

Fires were 95% contained when the rain started. Typical
Thanks to all the CFS volunteers and interstate assistance.
