Tragedy

Disaster Zone, emergency, Arson are some common words when you hear when you turn on the news. Its so sad to this this tragedy has struck. This bush fire has been given a rating of 400, do you know what that means? A bushfire with a rating of 100 is considered uncontrollable..

The death toll for the Victoria Bush fires stands at 135 people..

Thats 135 people who's lives ended suddenly..thats 135 families who will never be the same..135 people who didnt expect not to live through 2009..135 people who's lives ended in horror..135 people who im sure have had some kind of impact on someone in their life..one of those 135 people could of been the person to discover a new invention or develop a life altering theory..im sure those 135 people made the world a better place in their own way..

The blaze went through 33,000 hectares destroying at least 750 houses..Thats 750 houses families made their home..750 houses full of memories..750 houses full of hard work. Right now they say 3733 people have registered as homeless..3733 survivors..they survived the horrifying blaze but are left behind some without their family, their friends, their neighbours, their colleagues and their houses..

And to think these fires could be deliberate? Why would someone do this? How could anyone just be so cold in the world..I just read about a man who put his kids in the car and went back to the house to get something and came to see his car on fire with his three kids inside..I havent heard of anything more scary than this..

This makes me look at my own life and how everything that seems a big deal really isnt..a breakup, a betrayal, a kilo gained, a guy who doesnt like me? It really is not the end of the world..my heart goes out to all those families who lost someone that meant the world to them..who lost a home im sure they loved more than anything..who's lives will never be the same..

R.I.P to all the helpless victims in the blaze..

And to the modern day heros..the fire fighters and the volunteers who are battling the blazes..your efforts will never be forgotten..
