but for once he's blameless...
"Bush fires threaten Canberra
A state of emergency has been declared in the Australian capital Canberra as out-of-control bush fires close to within five miles of the city's suburbs. Chief Minister Jon Stanhope declared a state of emergency for the entire Australian Capital Territory area, which includes Canberra and its surrounding suburbs. "It acknowledges the seriousness of the emergency that we are facing and it allows all of our emergency authorities, including the police, to take, if they need to, a whole range of emergency steps," Stanhope said. Several homes have been destroyed and one person is feared dead."
Best of luck Oz. Hope things settle down soon...
