That's what I meant by; "lines crossing in many ways".Nooo apparently when the conductors get dirty/dusty they can arc and apparently make the wooden cross beams catch fire
But yes what you said is also true.

The one near me (Beechworth fire) was started by a faulty powerline/pole.I heard on the news this morning that one may have been started by a faulty wooden power pole
Apparently it's been downgraded now and not threatening nearby communities, as it says on the cfa website.^^^

I hope the headliners can do it, if not we will have to reschedule.Matt, got an exact date yet? I'll be there fo sho
Fire often burns random like this, it is just the way of the beast. That explains why you will see random patches of grass, trees, or even unprotected houses spared by the flames.Ive seen some photos where the trees still have greenery on them, but the ground around them/the trunks seem burned out. What causes this? Is it because the fire front moves so fast? Or where the fires put out before they burned the whole tree down?
Spot on.Fire often burns random like this, it is just the way of the beast. That explains why you will see random patches of grass, trees, or even unprotected houses spared by the flames.
That is so disrespectful and typical of our media. My mates dad's friend and his wife passed away in the fire near Beechworth. He was coping alright with the news until The Age put a photo of his mate and his mates wife's bodies being carried out of the ruins of their house on stretchers. What is wrong with people. My sister was saying kids at her school are starting to elaborate on the stories of people dying in the fires and talking about the horror of it all as if they get off on it. It's absolutely disgusting that's what it is. Some people are just sick minded and have no feelings or respect. I don't know what the cause is, if it's just twisted people or if its our society and things like all the crime shows which sensationalize human suffering. Whatever it is, it makes me sick to the stomach.stupid media, anything to make a dollar. ..
in the herald sun today, there was a picture of my cousin and his girlfriend, on the front page, then picture of them on about 3-4-5 page, cant rember, any way pretty much a half page pic, with a MASSIVE "last words were we love you"...
and a little story about their last moments, and the way they were caling all their family to say good bye, and they loved them.
my aunty said she did not want it published. (as one of their close friends told the newspaper the story) .. and the newspaper publish's the story, even through the MOTHER of the person said no.. TO THE NEWSPAPER
same as on the news, they put ap icture of them up in the "we will always rember you" display tonight, their picture was the last picture and froze there for 5-10 seconds..
channel 10 asked my aunty if they could use the pis, she said no as well....
im pretty fucking sure there is laws against that kind of thing.
it would be alright if they were doing it cause they actualy care, but 10 bucks says if i showed the producer the picture again, they wouldnt have a fucking clue who they are.
fuck the media, times like this it is a bit had to lodge any complaints as clearly there is much worse things on our minds.. but i am pretty sure once things calm down a little.. their wil be many phone calls made.
There are, goodluck Alex. Hope your family is all okay.im pretty fucking sure there is laws against that kind of thing.
That's completely f***ed. You or your family should report this to Media Watch and maybe the Australian Press Council as well.stupid media, anything to make a dollar. ..
