Lest we forget

The fires in southern Australia are making news all over the world. As of this morning, there are 181 people confirmed dead, hundreds of square miles burned, several towns destroyed. The same kind of reporting is similar to what we read about the wildfires in southern California and the other states in the US that catch fire every year.

But this photo is a reminder that it’s not just people that suffer. The story in the San Francisco Chronicle is here.

There are so many wild creatures coming out of the bush and allowing themselves to be helped by humans. The fires are still burning. A firefighter was killed today. The number killed has risen to over 200 now. It's so bizarre to have the fires still raging while the rest of the east coast is sodden.
