Hi HF,
There may be changes to come from this...
"As a result of the weekend deaths, the Victorian Government says it may no longer allow people to stay and defend their properties.
Many of those killed were inside their homes.
Victorian Premier John Brumby says the Government will review all its fire policies.
"What did occur? Were all the steps that were put in place appropriate? Are their different policies, different measures, different arrangements that need to be put in place in the future."
Mr Brumby has since announced a Royal Commission into the fires.
The commission's terms of reference will include all aspects of the Government's bushfire strategy.
The State Government will announce a timeline for the inquiry later in the week.
Victorian Governor David de Kretser says the death toll from the weekend fires is overwhelming."
