    Wow and I hear a fella's UVA has been helping the fire fighters locate issue, pretty cool, shame that a fire bug proberly lit them. They should find him and light him on fire.

    Actually it turns out fires were started from Army explosive exercises. It was quite amusing to see police and fire chief have to pull their heads in after searching for kids that didnt even do it.

    Impressive video footage. I have never seen that before from a perspective of a UAV. But extremely sad to see people loosing their homes and lives every year because of bush fires:( my condolences...

    Yes I know that from when I was a kid. Back on topic, this years fires "local" to me were results of army explosive "testing" and after the fire got outa control, then they called the fire dept.
