"More than 180 alleged arsonists have been arrested since the start of the bushfire season, with 29 blazes deliberately lit in the Shoalhaven region of southeast NSW in just three months."

They should all go to prison for a long, long time.

Yes it is pretty full on at the moment. We have had hardly more then one or two glimpses of blue sky in Sydney since the begging of December as our city is covered in smoke and haze from the fires. There are even fires flaring up in bits of suburban bush land around where I live in Sydney suburbs. In the bush it is much worse. Around 1000 people have lost their homes with some entire towns almost wiped out in my state. 20 people dead. It is the worst I have seen it. We have just had some firefighters from California come over to provide some relief to our local guys. This is much appreciated.

To give you an idea of the scale of the fire image the map of England. The fire front stretches from the coast of Southern England to Newcastle which is around 50 miles from the border of Scotland. Roughly around 1000 miles of fires on our East Coast.

I'm so very sorry. California understands what you're going through. Brutal!

An incredible area has been burned. The comparison graphic above doesn't even account for areas burned in the states of Queensland and Victoria.

Not meant to insult but the Australian fires just caused half a billion dollars of damage today...in comparison the 2018 CA fires caused 400 Billion in damages.

EDIT: What Goatie said.

This article with photos gives you a better idea of the scale of the fires in Australia. It has an overlay map of Australia on the US

FOR CONTEXT: Fire icons are for locations. The size of the icons does not equate to the literal size of the fires.

Either way, we're lucky it didn't bite us in the ass.
