Fire breaks, backburning and a lot of hard work by CFS and locals is what eventually stopped it (also there being nothing left to burn). They did bomb houses and inaccessible areas but this was all part of the tool kit for fighting fires never a stand alone method. Until you see a bushfire up close and personal you just don't appreciate their power. You can't blame government for everything and you can't ruin the economy by spending money on future worst case scenarios. There is only so much money you can appropriate from the population. so you need to spend wisely not recklessly.
