You need more English lessons, maybe you and lionnoisy can get a discount if you join together.
** I don't mean simple spelling mistakes, it's more like comprehension, though I question the good that such lessons would do for lionnoisy. His affliction is more severe and nothing short of a lobotomy can correct it.

220 km 2 have been burnt (SG is just 700 km2),
i see no reason that Vic cannt be declared in Emergency.
Wat does Federal is doing?

Fire authorities believe both of the big Gippsland fires in the Strzeleckis and in West Gippsland were deliberately lit.
Towns in both areas are still under threat as winds push the fires north to Neerim Junction, Noojee, Carrajung, Won Wron, Woodside and Traralgon South.
Peter Schmidt from the CFA said there are still large areas of unburnt country inside the fire lines.
"We still have extremely dry conditions and there will be some reasonable winds over the next couple of days which can still whip this fire up," he said.
The Princes Highway and the South Gippsland Highway remain closed.
Crews are trying to shore up control lines between Buckland Gap and Khancoona Gap.
Fire alerts have been eased at Walhalla, Erica, Rawson, Toongabbie, Glengarry and Cowwarr.
-Emergency contacts
In a life-threatening emergency, or to report a fire, call 000.
If you can see flames, call the Country Fire Authority's information line on 1800 240 667. The CFA says their call centre is being overwhelmed, so people should consider how urgent their call is.
The SES number is 132 500.
To find out about missing family or friends call Red Cross Family Reunification on 1800 727 077
The Red Cross Blood Service can be contacted on 131 495 - there is no shortage of blood yet, but appointments can be made
The ABC SMS number is 19 774 774.

Lionnoisy, i dont blame you at all for your lack of intellect and diction. I put the blame solely on your mum for dropping you on your head while you were a child. The lorongs of Geylang is no place to raise a child, in my opinion.

As Brumby said, there's no reason to declare a state of emergeny as the systems are working as intended. Australians are able to work together without the need of emergency rules.
Worldlybusinessman said:
really ozzie civil defence sux big time, i have expereince...
I say:
sod off. SG civil defence would crumble in such conditions. In the least they have never encountered a situation even one percent as intense as this. The CFA firefighters are absolute heroes. It's to be expected you'd go for a cheap shot in a time like this.

This is the first concrete news of ADF in deployment.
i read from Mon 9 Feb oz medias--
But it seem no ADF men power to help fight the fire directly--
Isnt the time to deplot ADF to work hand in hand with fire fighter
to contain and wipe out fires?
Besides to establish fire breaks and supporters,ADD can and shall do much more!!
''Premier John Brumby confirmed that Victoria had accepted Kevin Rudd's offer to send in the army to assist.
"There will also be recovery arrangements put in place. I this morning advised the Prime Minister we'll accept his offer in terms of the defence forces," he said.
"They'll be providing logistics and support. That will tend to be in terms of fuel, logistic support, dozers, some personnel, and they will help control what is a very difficult situation."
Mr Rudd said 12 army bulldozers and support crews would be deployed to help fire protection efforts in Yea, which was threatened by a fire that began near Kilmore, north of Melbourne.
"The defence force personnel will help build containment lines surrounding the town, which is being seriously threatened with fire," he said.''
Defence forces called to join fight

Fires engulf the town of Yarra Glen Photo: Stuart Grey
Residents and tourists are stranded in Yarra Glen, north-east of Melbourne, after fires cut roads going in and out of town.
Email your photos to [email protected]
Transport updates from VicRoads and V/Line
Latest updates from the Country Fire AuthorityVisitors and locals have herded into the main street as farms, homes and hotels are evacuated and people are left with nowhere to go.
"The fire's really close, we can see the flames from the middle of town", said tourist Jacqui Cheng.
"There's hundreds of people, cars are packed full, there are dogs and people with horse floats, they're all in the street, they're just wandering around.
"The fire is on three sides and all the roads are cut."
Temperatures are beginning to cool in the area but firefighters are expecting little change besides a switch in the fire's direction.
"We were staying at a local B&B and they (the owners) started packing up and said `stay put'," she said.
"All of a sudden, the wind started to swirl and we were outta there."
Yarra Glen is a popular place for weddings and winery tours in the summer with the nearby Rochford Wines hosting regular rock concerts.
"Everyone's trapped, people's weddings have been cancelled, some people have had their ceremony and been evacuated only a short time later," Ms Cheng said.
The mood in the town is grim as the exhausting heat, fire and confusion have left some feeling trapped and many residents concerned for their homes and livelihood.
