The Wonderful people of the Victorian Fire areas  

I agree with u it tugs at your heartstings an I pray for strenght for all the famlies

Yes they are truely doing an amazing job and yes I think everyone has done the same as you watching the reports on the news and listening to them on the radio, if you have a heart you just cant help but shred tears when you hear their stories and what those poor people went through last report was there was 173 lifes lost and over 750 homes destroyed and they had raised over $14 million to help which is fantastic!

Hello my friend lilaclady Ji,
If it happened in real, it is really a heart-breaking, these sentiments leave deep
impressions and everlasting. Same thing type things occured, when Mumbai terror occured.
May god bless them all to rest at paece and soothen all people who lost their near and
dear ones. Have a great time.

All we can offer from here is our prayers. They certainly have mine.

Yes my friend, I haven't watch the tv al day but I read it in the newspaper, about the fire. It's terrible that the heat caused fire everywhere. I pray for it to end soon and I pray for there'll be no more victim.

I too, have been watching the daily reports on TV about the Victorian bush fires, and the stories are horrendous; I can't stop crying thinking what those poor people have had to go through, losing not only their homes, but members of their families too. So many lives have been lost already, but the toll seems to rise every day.
There are many unsung heroes I'm sure - tragedies like this pull people closer together and they just help wherever they can.
Australia is suffering badly at the moment with horrific fires down in Victoria, and terrible floods up in Far North Queensland. It's either a feast or a famine in our country.
I just hope it all ends soon so that those people can start to re-build their lives. I'm sure prayers are being said all over the world for them.

Hi lilac. It's a huge tragedy alright. I cannot get past that these fires were deliberately lit. I don't think I would be able to ever get over the trauma these people have experienced. My niece is one of those wonderful volunteer firefighters. They must see some terrible sights.

It is really very sad. Looking to the future it occurs to me that surely each property could have a basement area where they could hide safely from fire if it should hit the property.
To do this must save lives. This could also apply to other calaminities such as hurricane or tornado activity throughout the world.

Hi lilaclady,


Yes, my heart is breaking too to see all those people suffering there, I hope they catch this arsoniest who done this, I cannot say anymore as I am so angry.
