It's tragic, but like London in the great fire of September 1666, it's a story about inflammable wood frame construction methods (which have repeatedly been far fire susceptible to fire brands than concrete and brick when dried out by low-humidity inland winds, as proved from San Francisco in 1906 to Hiroshima in 1945). The propaganda spin by the BBC that this is inevitable climate change simply ignores the fact that wood burns, concrete doesn't. But I won't be blogging about this, it's impossible to get the truth out about anything now.
