Just wondering if anyones ever been in like a fire situation? Just the other week there was a house burnt down right across the road. The feeling they must of went through watching there house burn down on a 40 degreee day would of sucked...... And if there was a fire at my work our whole network in the northern suburbs of perth would go down resultiing in thousands of unhappy customers :S And the damage would cost hundreds of thousands to replace. (Work for Amcom which is an internet provider)

When the bush fires near perth were happening my grandmother had to come live with us cause it burned down her area.

Bout the closest I've been to and actual experience.

Yeah living in WA, we get so many bush fires and i know heaps of people in the hills like kalamunda etc that get affected by it

There was a small bushfire near my house, my cousin and i were trying to put it out because it was small. some fella who lived next to it comes flying out of his house and says "oi you bastards, stay where you are ive called the police." We put out the fire and legged it and yelled "Should of called the firemen ******."

My sister apartment was on fire about 3 weeks ago and now she has lost everything, I don't know what I would do if it happened to mine

At the golf course where i use to work at caught fire. Was pretty devastating.

A guy who used to live two houses up from me when i was growing up decided it would be a good idea to light a candle under his bed and set the mattress on fire and burnt the house down but the was not the first time there house has burnt down his mum only a few years before left the iron on face down (this was before there were safety switches on irons) and it burnt there house down so they copped it twice in only a space of a few years..

Was visiting my aunty in Melbourne when they had their bushfires (can't remember the year off the top of my head). They didn't get close enough to us (there was a massive hill between us and the fires), but **** that was close enough.

i was like 10 melbourne bushfires last year and all the internet was gone for like 3 days
