Not Ranked
We had a fire in the Adirondacks back in 1962 when there was a drought in the area. They thought that The Northway (Interstate 87) would act as a firebreak. I remember that it leapt over parts of Interstate 87 (which was under construction at the time) like it was nothing. It finally burnt itself out.
I feel for you folks. Fires like yours are VERY scary. I hope the deaths and injuries don't go higher. You can always rebuild property, but people are irreplaceable. Good luck to all of you down under.
