It is not just the number of people who died in the bush fire in South East Australia that comes as shocking news. Rather it is hard to believe that there are still on earth people with hearts in stone.
It is believed that the blaze which started on Saturday February 7 was triggered by some so-called ‘alleged arsonists’ who reignited the fire after it was turned down by fire-fighters in the first round. Earlier this morning death toll reached 108 people. The wreckage this destructive fire has left behind is massive. There are completely burnt out houses and mostly family in agony some due to the loss of their loved ones and others are simply going through excruciating pain while lying in hospital.
It is no wonder Julia Gillard, Australia Deputy Prime Minister told the BBC News Channel that this is ‘a national disaster’. The Queen of England, Elizabeth II has sent her ‘deep condolences’ to Australia and she has expressed her sympathy to victims stressing out that this incident is a ‘terrible distress ever in the wildlife history.’
Meanwhile, it can only feel appropriate to take off our hat to brave fire-fighters as they keep on working under severe pressure to bring the fire under control. In fact, isn’t it amazing that we often take for granted that fire-fighters constantly risk their very lives in order to save others who are trapped in deadly furnace such as that of the Australian Bush fire?
