BushFire in Victoria
My Macro Monday is a lit candle ,, Tribute to all those who suffered and escaped the Bush Fire .. As I was looking closely at the fire on the candle,, I am thinking about the people, animals, properties and nature that were destroyed.. Fire is beneficial but if it is wide scale and massive , as what happened in Victoria Australia,, it is dangerous....
Some areas are still at threat and we are all hoping for things to settle ...
Not only in Victoria but also here in NSW where there is still some areas burning..
The death toll in the Victorian bushfires has risen to more than 100, and numbers are expected to rise in the nation's worst natural disaster.
There were 31 active fires across the state as of 0530 (AEDT) on Monday, the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) and the Country Fire Authority (CFA) said.
he death toll from the Victorian bushfires has reached 108 and authorities warn the number of fatalities is likely to rise even further.
The toll from Australia's deadliest natural disaster had reached 108 as at 6am (AEDT) on Monday, authorities said.
At least 750 homes have been destroyed and more than 330,000ha burnt out, while authorities said some fires could take weeks to contain.
All fire-devastated areas will be treated as crime scenes to determine if arson was involved, Victorian Police Commissioner Christine Nixon said on Monday.
Ms Nixon said forensic investigators had begun work in the Churchill region, where police suspect arson was involved.
"At this stage we have a team at the fire at Churchill in the Gippsland Valley, which is certainly one that we believe was deliberately lit," Ms Nixon told the Seven Network.
"Our fire experts and our own investigators have suggested that the way that it happened, how fast that it happened, that there is good evidence to believe that it was lit."
Forensic investigators have also begun work in the Kinglake area.
"They're where the most deaths are, but wherever a death has occurred we investigate that as a crime," Ms Nixon told ABC Radio.
