Just like when fires break out in California, the conditions which allow for brush fires to start are natural. People then take advantage of things to start more. Victoria had record high temperatures, there has been a draught for almost a decade and there are brush fires every year. Most of them were natural even though a few were started by arsonists. It isn't all arson. The vegitation in the region depends on fire. The only difference this year is the scale of the fires.

Those fires in Australia aren't a natural disaster. They were arson.

I'm curious as to how you handle snail-mail addressed to you back in the United States? I'm sure there have to be tax, government, and other stuff that is being mailed to some address back home.
