I learnt that fire doesnt discriminate. I learnt that homes disintegrate, people placed under threat. The fire in Cockatoo was hot enough to melt metal, brick houses reduced to dust. I didnt think it could be worse than Ash Wednesday. We need to put aside rhetoric and work on installing policy that treats human lives, men women and children as the priority. It would be criminal to destroy further lives by inaction. I helped clear up in Cockatoo after the Ash Wednesday fires and more recently to the West of Melbourne.
