Is there something hidden behind the bushfires in Victoria, Australia?

Questions about the fires in Victoria

Everyone will remember the fires in Northern California that burned houses to a tinder while leaving vegetation intact.

Someone (in the video below) has been observant and actually look at NASA Worldview to see what can be seen; it is pretty similar to what we have seen in previous fires over the recent past.

To my mind this is evidence.

We live in an age where rhetoric trumps over evidence and people are told not to believe their own eyes (not to mention chemical analysis of rain etc.) but to believe only when there is a paper written by someone who owes his/her continued professional life to be paid by government or corporation, peer-reviewed by others who also depend on the same sources.

I will not ascribe any motivation and restrict myself to the bare evidence.But to those following an 'agenda' this will still be a 'conspiracy theory'.

The way this fire is behaving is eerily similar to the California fires.

Here is what I picked up from NASA Worldview.

At least from Earth Nullschool the winds do not seem overwhelming - I guess this doesn't take into consideration wind gusts

A volunteer firefighter crew has released footage showing trees glowing pink during intense bushfires at Bunyip State Park near Melbourne.

In the video, the crew can be seen driving through the park while its trees are covered in embers.

The blaze was caused by multiple lightning strikes on Friday but is one of 25 fires across southern Australia in recent days as the country suffers a record-breaking heatwave.

You would think that this was a national emergency, given the statement, Bunyip Park fire 'worse than Black Saturday blaze" that it would be given pride of place in the headlines but, no, that is not the case.

Perhaps it was part of yesterday's news cycle?

This is the article from Australia's Channel 9.

Victoria Bushfires: Wind change blows raging bushfires east

More than 20 Victorian emergency warnings remain in place as intense bushfires rage across the state’s east as a wind change challenges firefighters battling to control the blazes.

The wind change that swept eastward across Victoria after 9pm last night eased firefighting efforts in areas south-east of Melbourne, however the Bunyip State Park fire this morning has been downgraded to a ‘Watch and Act’ warning level.

That fire is currently still within containment lines and Victorian emergency authorities have said residents should consider leaving homes if they haven’t already or, if they are away from their properties, not to return.

The bushfire in the State Park, which was sparked on Friday by lightning strikes, yesterday burnt through more than 10,000 hectares as it raced towards the Princes Freeway and at least three buildings were damaged or lost.

In the surrounding area, 23 schools have been closed today as well as 15 early childhood centres, and the Princes Freeway remains shut at Nar Nar Goon and Drouin.

Further east, an “Emergency” warning level remains in place for multiple suburbs including Budgeree, Budgeree East, Jeeralang, Jeeralang Junction, Jeeralang North, Jumbuk, Yinnar and Yinnar South.

The Yinnar South bushfire is still burning out of control, has torn through 1500 hectares and is still growing larger

Victorian emergency fire crews have this morning been relocated from other areas to help fight the blaze, and authorities have said that residents need to leave now before conditions worsen further.

‘Watch and Act’ warnings also stay in place for suburbs just south of Mt Wellington near Licola, where another major bushfire is still out of control and has destroyed 12,000 hectares of land

With the wind change the fire has moved further east of Licola, although another wind change possible for later today could again hamper firefighting efforts.

The Licola Road has been closed to everyone apart from firefighting crews and authorities have urged residents to seek shelter.

What you need to know

- Bunyip State Park: The fire is burning towards the Princes Freeway. A wind change tonight will push the fire east. Residents should shelter indoors immediately. It is now too late to leave.

- Budgeree/Yinnar South: Communities south-east of the fire should enact their fire plan. Leaving now is the safest option. A relief centre is now open at Kernot Hall in Morwell.

- Dargo/Licola: Residents in surrounding communities should stay informed and monitor conditions overnight. Be ready to leave quickly if the situation changes.

"We are certainly concerned with the change that's going to come through at about nine o'clock tonight, we know that will mean the eastern flank of the fire will become the head of the fire," he said yesterday.

"It will present certain challenges for our firefighters," he said of the wind change.

"Whilst it damaged some property (in 2009) it was a very narrow finger compared to what we're facing with this fire, because this fire has been growing," Mr Owen told a community meeting in Pakenham.

Mr Owen has worked on fires in the same park in 2003, 2006 and 2009's Black Saturday fire.

"Under those very strong conditions experienced on that day (in 2009), it travelled neatly, whilst it damaged some property it was a very narrow finger compared to what we're facing with this fire, because this fire has been growing," Mr Owen told a community meeting in Pakenham today.

Power has been lost to more than 800 buildings in the Bunyip area.

About 30 homes were doorknocked in the Labertouche area with residents being told to evacuate.

Three relief centres have been set up for residents forced out by the fires.

Donna Marsh, from Garfield near Bunyip, lived through Black Saturday and was packed and ready to go earlier today.

"Black Saturday was horrendous but this is closer," she told 9News.

"You do what you can do and then you get the hell out because you don't want the CFA trying to risk their lives to get you out because you've been stupid and stayed too long."

Two homes have been confirmed lost at Yinnar South where an out-of-control blaze today increased in size from 1000 hectares to 1500 hectares.

"Although the wind has eased, reducing fire activity, there is still potential for spotting and you should remain vigilant," authorities said of the Dargo blaze.

Emergency Management Commissioner Andrew Crisp said due to the dangerous conditions for firefighters, not every home could be saved.

"Our priority is protecting life," he said.

"People cannot expect a fire truck at every house, there's just not enough to go around."

There are also fears for people driving who could get trapped in their cars.

New South Wales has released three air tankers to help crews across the state.

There are more than 30 other fires still burning across Victoria. The fire danger rating is severe for the central district and very high for the rest of the state.

"This is the hottest start to autumn in 30 years, following the hottest summer on record," Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Tom Delamotte said.

An asthma warning has now been issued due to the conditions.

There is expected to be no relief until Wednesday when rain is forecast.
