I am happy we are lending a hand to them. I was watching families try to put out the fire and I do not think they had any clues to what they were doing. It looked like they were surrounded by fire. I thought things must be bad for them to be allowed to do that.

Maybe Australia will teach our firefighters how they got rid of Radical Islam in their country if we get rid of the fires.

Homeowners in Australia are encouraged to defend their own homes from fire. It’s not just something they are allowed to do, but something they are encouraged to do - either leave as soon as the threat arises and go to a place or safety, or stay and defend.

Oh - and Australia hasn’t got rid of radical Islam, anymore than the US has. We’ve got radicals here. Some people even think that terrorist groups are behind some of these fires and while there’s no real evidence of that at this point, the fact is they have threatened to do it, and the possibility is certainly a real one.
