THE BUSHFIRE CAUSED A LOT OF GRIEF FOR FAMILIES AS OVER 250 PEOPLE Died. People aren't the only ones dying, animals such as koalas, kangaroos and plenty other animals have died. Some areas such as kingslake was devastated by the bushfires. houses and cars were all burnt out but some houses were left unscathed.

 The temperature was predicted to climb 100 feet for the first time since the February 7 blaze Strong winds and lightning area. 3,500 firefighters took advantage of slightly milder weather to contain the blazes. Wildfires in Australia are a recognized phenomenon as a part of the bush and forests ecosystems. The fire seasons occur at different times for different parts of the country. These fires can be started by lightning, carelessness or maliciousness on the part of humans. These people are called arsonists.

1) The fires spread quickly with a wind behind it. 2) It jumped across roads, trees and rivers. 3) The oil from the eucalyptus tree leaves helps the fire intensify. 4) The fire burnt it’s way through anything in it’s way ; houses,trees,buildings,animals and people who couldn’t escape. 5) People who had to flee from the fire only had the clothes they had on.
