RE: Freewrite Day 162 - the Day of Ash and Smoke
You really brought the tragedy home to me. I remember reading about this and being horrified, trying to imagine how people could be trapped in that way. I agree--it is madness to set a fire in those conditions. Was this caused by lightening or some other natural event, or was it truly caused by a foolish, careless individual?
There was a series of bushfires that all started on this day with very high winds and high temperatures combined. The causes included lightening, arson, power lines and some machinery. Those guilty of arson were dealt with severely!!
