Canberra fires from 2003

Warning: This is pretty horrific, no gore as such, but burning homes, fire trucks, and pretty much a vision of hell.

A real life disaster movie.

In Australia, we call it "summer"

[–]gimmikz 5 points6 points ago

The Feb 2009 Fires were worse.

[–]DoucheBurglar 9 points10 points ago

Much much worse... mainly because Creed was playing the whole time. Such a tragedy.

[–]CryWolf13 7 points8 points ago

We have quite a few bad fires here in southern California. A few really bad ones also.

[–]PAUL_SCHOLES_AMA 3 points4 points ago

Sydney and California are very similar in many ways.

[–]Tea_Vea 5 points6 points ago

Such as that Eucalypts exacerbate forest fires in both places.

[–]Clauderoughly -2 points-1 points ago

Eucalypts exude a fine mist of oil, to allow the fire to pass by them quickly. They evolved this over hundreds of thousands of years in Australia, as the native people burnt small patches on a regular basis.

Get enough Eucalypts in one spot, and you end up with a situation similar to a Daisy cutter Or Fuel/Air bomb

[–]dreamingtree 2 points3 points ago

No; the oil is actually contained in the leaves and is what helps start the fires. The bark of the eucalyptus tree is what insulates it from the fire, allowing it to survive; with new buds sprouting from the base of the tree (lignotuber). That said, they do still have a tendency to explode - thanks to the oil in the leaves.

[–]corcyra 1 point2 points ago

And in southern Europe they've had some of the worst summer fires in decades. Last October I drove through the places in Catalonia where this year's fires turned everything to toast..very sad.

[–]zzpza 2 points3 points ago

Your comment reminded me of this video of some Russians driving through a forest fire to escape it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB0T2M8jDBw

[–]corcyra 1 point2 points ago

They must be insane.@_@

[–]serviceenginesoon 0 points1 point ago

I believe in parts of Australia, a few years back, they had people die in cars because they were trying to out run the fires that at some point were going over hundred miles an hour and were burning the tires on the vehicles and , you can guess the rest...

[–]CryWolf13 1 point2 points ago

We had four firefighter die a couple years back. They were trapped in their vehicle

[–]sweetmercy 0 points1 point ago

During the fires in 2003 here in California, there were people who didn't make it from their home to their car in the driveway before the fire took them. Scary shit, that.

[–]jimmux 2 points3 points ago

I was there for those fires. It was an interesting few days, as I was house-sitting a somewhat safe distance from the fires but close to bushland. Between keeping the radio going 24 hours for updates, and relatives calling every 2 hours to make sure I was still alive, I got very little sleep.

It's also a weird feeling when you have everything you own prioritised in case of evacuation. Fortunately I was student with few possessions and only a bicycle for transport, so the decision to save my skin and little else was an easy one.

[–]Youngadillo 2 points3 points ago

I was working at the EB's at Woden when we lost power to the whole fucking mall. We evacuated, went outside and it was raining fucking fire! One of the most terrifying things I've ever seen.

[–]dizzystuff 1 point2 points ago

Which suburb were you in?

[–]jimmux 0 points1 point ago

[–]britishguitar 1 point2 points ago

I live in Toowoomba/Murphy's Creek, and can say that natural disasters create the eeriest atmosphere. I've been through both fires and floods, and it really is bizarre to see how everything so quickly breaks down.

[–]lisa-needs-braces 0 points1 point ago

I too lived in Canberra for the fires. I was about seven, and as far as I could tell it was a normal weekend morning. Then my Mum took me and my brother to see a movie in Belconnen. We came out and the sky was black and the wind fierce. As a kid, it was about the most exciting thing ever.

[–]dizzystuff 2 points3 points ago

I was 12 years old when those happened. It was god damned scary waiting that night, hoping that the pine forest behind us (in Isaacs for you local redditors) didn't go up in flames.

[–]Youngadillo 1 point2 points ago

LOL ....I helped put out that fire!

Edit: The one behind Isaccs that is

[–]dizzystuff 1 point2 points ago

colorado this year had its worst fire season yet. over half of the u.s.'s fire fighting resources were put into colorado too combat the flames at what i believe 9-12 forest fires and another large prarrie fire.

[–]Clauderoughly 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I have seen the way the US fires are handled.

They need to come up with much better fire management practices, in terms of back burning during the off season, fire break lines as well as a whole host of other fire management tactics.

Fire seasons like that don't just "happen" there are a whole host of factors that turn a bad fire, into a complete cluster fuck and a lot of those are manageable.

Yeah, you can't control the weather, but you can come up with plans that save as much life and property as possible.

The hard facts are, you can't save everyone or everything. Some places are just going to have to burn.

But, with the right amount of planning, triage and risk management you can save lives and property.

I am not ripping on the US, fire management is HARD, but it can be done

[–]Ecl1pse 0 points1 point ago

Wow, the first few minutes before the footage of the actual fire was tense.

[–]FatMansPants 174 points175 points ago

Americans and their pussy tornado's of wind, we have tornado's of FUCKING FIRE!

[–]prepping4zombies 42 points43 points ago

I wonder if fire tornadoes head straight for trailer parks like wind tornadoes do? Has anyone done the research?

[–]JianKui 45 points46 points ago

Depends. They generally head for wherever you're standing.

[–]aryon984 30 points31 points ago

Pretty much. Australian fires of any kind will hunt you the fuck down.

[–]FatKid4Sale757 2 points3 points ago

There's a lot of that going on over here too... But fire tornadoes!? Naw, fuck that shit... That's a poop inducing nightmare. Tornado-Fire, FIRE FIRE!!!

[–]ZeroHex 0 points1 point ago

Australian fires of any kind will hunt you the fuck down.

Along with most of the wildlife, which we should mention is deadly poisonous and 3 times bigger than counterparts in the rest of the world.

[–]snarkamedes 2 points3 points ago

I understood that the fire tornadoes sucked up all the nearby spiders, snakes, crocs and platypi, just to set them alight and deliberately fling them at nearby tourists.

    Black Saturday. Our country burns, the fires turn the sky to ash, flames measured three hundred feet high.

    Some footage to give you an idea of what it looked like.

    I don't usually do this but your username is classic. I can't remember but what episode was it where Karl actually said that? Why did he say it? It's funny that Ricky Gervais asked someone out there to make a remix of it. The ones on YouTube are pretty funny.

    [–]Stinkis 2 points3 points ago

    They where talking about some fear factor episode where they ate kangaroo penises. He then wondered what time during the day it was shot because he has problems eating in the morning and wouldn't be able to do it then but he "could eat a knob at night".

    These are rare fire tornadoes. They usually happen in South America, when a tornado and a wildfire happen at the same time.

    What is this I'm seeing? Is it really a fucking fire tornado?

    Australia is hell. It's official.

    That's fine, that's how the tornadoes work down there. Kind of like the toilet water flushing the wrong way.

    Thanks for one-upping us once again Aussies. We have venomous snakes, you have venomous snakes that eat venomous snakes. We have tornadoes, you guys light yours on fire.

    I once ate a large portion of an order of "nuclear" hot wings. I felt every twist and turn in my intestines overnight... and a similar firestorm as a finale.
