Disgraceful to deliberately light fires.

Horrible for the people and families impacted, of which it’ll be far more normal folk than wealthy folk.

I was wondering about that. Insurance is high enough/too high already.

The insurance price tag for the Los Angeles fires is estimated to be more than $US20 billion ($32 billion).

As California faces an insurance crisis, experts say the impacts may be felt in Australia.

LA fires exposed an insurance crisis and Australians may have to pay

The Los Angeles fires are shaping up to be one of the most expensive disasters in US history, and due to the global nature of the insurance industry, the costs may be felt in Australia.

Didn't Mallacoota have a fire so bad in recent history that the residents waded out into the water at the beach to escape the heat?
The sound + radiant heat from bushfires can be simply terrifying
