At least $100m has been donated for the Vic Bushfire. Well done.
If this tragic event has anything to learnt from, the good has trumped ove the bad.

So what, some fires are started by arsonist, one has been identified as a loner, some lootings have occur, fraud donations cracked down

- but overwhelmingly, it is the
CFA volunteers,
The ADF soldiers,
the state premier who go around comforting people,
the state chief police commissioner on site to coordinate effort
the amimal carers
The Salvos, Red cross and 100s of NGOs (Some are setting up new permanent stores to help the victims - these people are here for the long haul it takes to rebuild the homes)

The kind of help the people are giving is amazing.
Even the ruling and opposition politicans are doing their bit.

The size of the bushfire can be sky from outer space.
The smoke from the fire reaches NZ.

The small country towns affected ...

The burnt area = 7 Singapores !!!
