Have a look at the regions involved; https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me * the number of active fires is high. * we have no proper rain and the ground is like DEAD dry. * the amount of resources we have to put them all out is not infinite. * the transport network does not cover much of those areas. * the population tends to cluster in or at the fringes of flammable regions. * the weather and fuel load are combining into truly horrific, chaotic fire behaviour, that can create their own weather systems (fire storms). It's a good question though! I wonder if we can invent some technology to solve this.
