Bushfire in Victoria - the worst in Australian's history

The temperature was scorching hot in Sydney today. It was around 43'C in the west. Over the south, Victoria and Adelaide, it's even worst, something like 47'C in certain areas. This is the time, a lot of houses near the bushes are in constant lookout. Fire can happened anytime. Just yesterday there were unconfirmed reports where 40 people has been killed in the fire. Most of them are kids!

There were also few reported cases, where people threw cigarettes butt onto the bushes. Duh! This is the time when the land is so hot that fire can lit up anytime, however, there were many so call arsonist who will do it for the sake of fun! Yes fun! So what!

I feel so sorry for those who has lost their properties and worst their loved ones. I wonder does this make the arsonist feel better? Is this their greatest achievements in their life? If they have I wish them all the best, and hopefully they don't get burn someday somewhere!!

I am flying into Melbourne for work today. Hopefully, the heat will go away soon.
