Bushfire


Australia experiences an erratic weather condition. In some cities, the temperature can as much higher as more than 40 degree Celcius. This condition can lead to natural disaster like bushfire. Mostly bushes in Australia become very dry in the summer. Since this harsh climate condition contributes to the type of vegetatives that covering mainland Australia, most of the plants are waterwise type.

In summer, irresponsible people sometime left their cigarette butts everywhere without putting attention to turn it off beforehand. Some call them, firebugs or arsonists, means the people who starting a fire and causing unfortunate disaster like bushfire. With a hot climate, dry condition, the firebugs are mostly the most irresponsible people at that time.

The most hot topic now in Australia is about bushfire. This disaster is dangerous because can burn the properties and lands very quickly uncontrollably. More than 150 people lose their lives and properties in this disaster. The fire brigade works very hard to extinguish the fire. They fight it days and nights to prevent the expanded disaster. However, more people become victims, homeless, lose their families and in grief because they can not save those immediately. In fact, this disaster is tremendeously dangerous and without any prevention in the future, most of Australians can be a victiom of this hars disaster.

I can’t imagine how the people cannot save their lives. It must be hot and dying facing the fire like that. It is as harsh as hell, or less. I can’t imagine that we have to go to hell which has a fire and blaze of fire everywhere. Couldn’t we do anything about it? To prevent our lives so we don’t have to go to the hell?

Astaghfirullah… this disaster taught me a lesson. Human can not stand even a fire that has been created by human… so what we are waiting for? Prevent ourself from the disaster on the judgement day….
