What a terrible disaster in Victoria, I hope any Dimmers caught up in it are ok. God willing they will come through fine.

its pretty full on.. its not really bush fires.. they have hit the suburbs which is more scary.. more than 60 people dead and countless homes..

its astonishing to me that they are all deliberately lit... :(

very sad.. my prayers go out to everyone that has been affected by the fires.

Yeah mate I have friends who lost a home in Kinglake, luckily they where away from home during the fires or they might have been included in the death toll too. Such a tragic day for Victoria I hope everyone else here is ok.

Yeah those firebugs are arseholes:mad:

There are 210 people confirmed dead from the bushfishes. Most of the deceased's remains have not yet been released from the Coroners ( Medical examiners) office as yet. Families can hold memorial services, but most have not been able to bury their lost loved ones as yet.

Samantha " Sam " the koala has been recuperating at an animal hospital and shelter.

She is a little star!:wubu:

The communities will rebuild, and life will go on, but we shall never forget those who perished.
One man is being held in custody in relation to lighting one of the fires.
