We are all shocked and saddened with the loss of life and devastation caused by the bushfire. People have lost their loved ones, their houses and some of the communities are completely destroyed.
Everybody is trying their bit to help the victims, may be the Victorian government, the Red Cross and various NGO's. The universities, the football clubs, students, literally everybody is doing their bit to help the victims. The only other thing that we can do is pray for them.
The firefighters are still fighting to control the fire in some areas. One of the proffessor from my department lost her house though she survived along with her daughter. The way she described her experience is bone chilling.
Though it would take time to come to a conclusion whether it was a natural calamity or not. Police say they are closing in on arsonists believed responsible for the disaster in three major areas.
