Just for perspective...
The Ash Wednesday bushfires were a series of fires that tore through south-eastern Australia on 16 February, 1983. On a hot, unrelenting dry day more than 180 fires caused widespread destruction across South Australia and Victoria in just twelve hours. In Victoria, 47 people died and in South Australia, 28 died.
The trees excrete highly flammable oils, the natural cycle of the bush is to burn. The trouble is that we get in the way.

there should be regular, controlled fires, to deplete the 'fuel'. when this is not done, uncontrolled fires start up
