I'm glad your friend got through it alright, Sir Canvas. My aunt and uncle in Yackandandah were fighting the fire on their property all night after the southerly wind sent the fire right in their direction. Finally got a call 7am this morning and they're okay. Another aunt and uncle lived just 5km from the fires in Bendigo, they're also fine.
I think everyone in Victoria will have known at least one person affected by it. The scale of it all is just massive.
