Because of this particular fire caused so much devastation and anxiety among those people who live in that part of eastern australia. Ministry putfense its hand up and acknowledge this . What we are hearing in eastern australia tonight is the military says its investigation are still continuing. The fire service said it has carried out its own inquiry and is satisfied the military was to blame. Causes ofook at the fire inustralia, many cause by lightning strikes or power cables rubbing together, causing sparks and strong winds. The work of arsonist cannot be discounted. Also the work of careless or reckless drivers flicking cigarette butts out of their car windows. It is very unusual for the military to be brought into this, so i would imagine the military top brass here in australia will not only be extremely concerned, they will be fairly devastated, too, that the actions of their staff, it would seem, would cause such a monumental inferno west of sydney. Thanks very much, indeed. Fr
