Bushfires are dangerous because they are uncontrollable. The sap inside gum trees superheats and ignites, causing the tops of the trees to explode, and this in itself feeds the fire even further. Bushfires can create massive infernos that move at tremendous speed, with sometimes little warning to those in their path, resulting in deaths. The recent bushfires in Victoria literally consumed whole towns in their path, killing 200 and leaving thousands homeless.
