Hoodlum you are a moron, most of us in the video actually donated to the victims, AND if you take a look at some of the comments in other copies of this video, it influenced so many people from around the world to donate.
Plus many of the people in the video have large fan followings on youtube, many of them already have fame on YT in fact they all helped put it together
Like you could do better?

Where’d you think the fire footage and pictures came from, they were all user submitted, the guy who took the photos of the fires lost some friends and couldn’t come on camera to talk cause he was too distraught to talk.
Well put madcap, well put! *clap clap* I couldn’t concur anymore.

This may be true, though isn’t it also true that the fires were non-existant? It’s the new trend on youtube, fabricating stories of world afflications. Has anyone in this video actually seen a fire outside of their computer screens? Don’t think so. It’s just like the so-called conflict in Gaza, tsk! They’re all happy as larry drinking champaigne in luxury hotels, the youtube scam was an excuse for the Palestinian government to give their people a little holiday while backyard blitz sneak through
Mate that was totally uncalled for, many of those fires were completely unpredictable due to the extreme weather conditions on the day, most of the areas have never experienced a bushfire before, AND the residents had little to no warning cause the fires were moving so fast

It was all Kwud and his kwony kon kruns.

Yeah, wasnt there extensive investigation to king lake and surround fires because there is evidence out there to indicate this was all a conspiracy and a scam for people in remote areas to obtain easy money?

Very well put together video, it was kinda a little cheesy though. But it was good.
i donated 15 dollars to the disaster at my high school..my friend was annoying me saying it was a waste of money
Although I don’t know what it’s like, I feel for you guys who have lost someone or been effected by the fires. I gave a small 15 dollars I wish I could give more but as they say every bit counts. My heart goes out to you. Times maybe tough but your not alone the entrie country is behind you.

thank you but i am no hero i just do what i can, i am just amazed at the aussie spirit that people have raized over 100 million. not they are needing things like simple garden tools to help clean up. i just hope i never catch the +_+_head to lit one of the fires because he might be put in a drum full of fuel and give him a box of matches becuase he likes playing with matches lets see how he goes with that
what about the 2003 bushfires in the snowy mountains or north of sydney in 05?

Correct. Its a relatively new fact that some bush requires fire, smoke to germinate seeds thus regrowth is a lot thicker. Raping the bush is not the answer neither is massive prescribed burning but careful house prepping, construction including keeping at least 25 meters around your pad clear of scrub will go a long way to seeing your house survive a bush fire. If you can’t save it then retreating to a fire proof bunker makes a lot of sense. Let the Insurance companies worry about the rest.
It was a little “mawkish” but that is appropriate under the circumstances, IMHO. Some of the people watching this video will have lost loved ones. Even a rugged true-blue Aussie probably feels SOME emotion when losing a family member. That is nothing to feel ashamed of.
And the intention of this was to raise money, remember. So a little emotional manipulation is required. (Especially in a media-weary world used to Hollywood effects).
Use that practical Oz gung-ho for the rebuilding process.

Of course, people need a chance to grieve and bury their dead. But as soon as possible, whilst it is still fresh in our memories, everyone should start asking themselves: How can WE take responsibility? What could WE have done differently? That is the only way to learn from histroy. There is no point in blaming the fire, or the arsonists, or the powerline company. Fire is a natural part of the environment. The decisions we make will affect how it affects us.
This must not happen again.
Hats off to all in the CFA and volunteers from other states.
Well done to everyone involved in making this video. The response to the fundraisers has been staggering.
My request to you is that you follow up your actions, by keeping the issue in the spotlight whilst the royal commission is in progress. Some far-reaching changes will need to be made, some of which will be politically unpopular.
Lots can be done to prevent a similar tragedy in the future, but it will require public input.

Don’t mean to detract from the general tone of the video and the supportive comments by going off on a tangent, but felt your question (not silly) deserves a reply:
Believe it or hot, wood is generally quite a good fire-proof building material. The reason is that it usually first chars on the surface. That layer of charcoal is quite a good insulator for the wood underneath.
Many of the houses seem to have burned from the inside out. My guess is radiant heat through the windows ignited….
Hi gnarly
The truth is that there is an enormous amount to learn about fires and the way they interact with property and people. That is why the CSIRO, among others, has an entire department dedicated to studying them.
Everyone has the right to stay and defend. In fact, they have the RESPONSIBILITY to do so if they can, because each saved house is a break in the fire front.
Govt CAN make a difference. e.g.
If people were required to have bunkers they could stay and defend with confidence.
