Maybe once this dies down and people have a chance to take stock, people in bushfire zones in the US will take a look at the strategies used Down Under. With it being the start of the fire season here, the "Make a Plan - Leave Early or Stay And Fight" stuff is all over the TV and the volunteer fire crews in every country town are preparing intensively. Europe got it pretty bad too this year - even Cyprus had a few larger than usual fires. Best wishes, Doc.
