Brush fires? Try forest fires.

BUSHFIRES. Which is the Australian word for forest fires, our word for forest being bush...

Those devastating Australian fires in early 2020 that wiped out hundreds of homes? that killed hundreds of people from smoke inhalation? We called those bushfires.

Trust me, bushfire is NOT a minimizing word. Bushfire = MASSIVE devastation.

I forgot those were this year, I thought they were last year.

God, this year is the fucking worst.

Yeah, there are people in Australia living in tents and caravans and on relatives couches because they lost their homes in the fires and then COVID delayed their rebuilding...
