that forest was so burnt i thought it must have been a bushfire from feb. the dse guys must have done that one at the end of a long week
The Feb fire was to the SE of Daylesford on Lake Wombat map. Fuel reduction burns are always a gamble. Those media tarts that whinge to the papers about DSE not meeting targets don't seem to understand how fine the line is between unburnable and a hot fire.
This one was certainly hot. I also imagine that in the atmosphere that prevailed this autumn anyone from DSE or the CFA who's ever wanted to put a match to something had effective carte blanche.
