| #7 Oztralian, I feel so sad for your loss. There's loss in nature, but arson's different. Oz needs to help those harmed, and make sure those sick f*cks who set fires - never do again. Hopefully by the same method. Nuff said |

| #6 A couple of morons set off some fireworks in a park in the western part of Colorado Springs yesterday, and started a grassfire that burned a few dozen acres. No one was hurt, and no homes were lost - mainly because fire crews controlled the fire very early. Fifteen fire crews responded, and spent more than ten hours fighting the blaze. If they hadn't controlled the fire, a dozen or more homes would have burned. The Aussies may want to bring in the troops and put a stop to this, but they also may want to round up anyone that has deliberately started such a fire and do some shark fishing. I wouldn't doubt that some of the perpetrators were members of the Religion of Peace. |

| #5 The Commonwealth Disaster Plan has been activated as an emergency response and the Military MIGHT be called in to help. |

| #4 It's absolutely horrible. Entire towns have been wiped out. 8 More bodies have just been found. People couldn't escape the flames quick enough, they were moving so fast that they killed people trying to flee in their cars. Death toll currently stands at 108 with over 750 Homes totally Destroyed. |

| #1 sounds like October in Southern California. And, of course, some of the fires are deliberately set. Those f*ckers should be burned at the stake |
