44 people, including 3 Firefighters were killed in several very fast
moving forest fires pushed by powerful winds-and suspected to be arson.
Specifically, the 3 Firefighters died after a car crashed into their fire
apparatus and led to a pile up as people tried to evacuate the area, The
smoldering remains of the fire truck lay overturned in a gully, and the
charred wreckage of cars and a motorbike were strewn across the road as
fire spread through the area. Media such as CNN are covering the fires.
