Reporting from Sydney, Australia - The smoldering ashes of southern Australia's massive wildfires delivered up dozens more dead today, and several blazes continued to rage out of control as the government promised a full-scale investigation into the worst bushfires in the country's history.


Garry Hughes, a longtime reporter for the Australian newspaper, wrote of the speed with which the fire engulfed his home in St. Andrews, 22 miles northeast of Melbourne, in the Kingslake area that was razed by speeding walls of fire.

"It comes at you like a runaway train. One minute you are preparing. The next you are fighting for your home. Then you are fighting for your life," he wrote.

This is sad really sad

This is Terrible news from Australia, many of those fires have been set by actual persons. Many have died and lost their entire homes. There are no excuses to this but put the guilty people beind bars.

This is the worse news I have heard from the corner of the regions associated with Australia. There should serious imprisonment for the person who found guilty in this problem.
