If you remember this was exactly a mirror that happened to Canberra (ACT), 
earlier this year in a firestorm. The subsequent inquiry; guess you will have 
one too, blamed total lack of communication plus complacency. In the event it 
is the small guy that gets hit; I'm all right jack syndrome. 

BTW was there loss of life or did they ALL get away in time.

It does seem co-incidental that both continents seem to swap fire hazzard, 
again is arson part of it too as with us. Mind you Europe copped it this time 
as well and the death toll was bigger that we ever had.
