Nice of Greece to steal Sweden’s forest fire thunder.

A doctor.

Perhaps the massive consumption of oxygen by the massive fcking fire can deprive living animals of a basic requirement for life.
Fúcks sake, perhaps we can get a primary school child to explain the fundamentals of existence to you, r.

This theory assumes that the fire had got incredibly close. Indeed, close enough to burn you as well.

You would think that one of the following things may have happened prior to that:

i) You know there is a forest fire in the vicinity & are therefore watchful over its progress (even at night).
ii) You are awoken by a neighbour/the fire service/the police as they see the fire rapidly progress towards your property.
iii) You know the fire is close to choose to move elsewhere until all is said and done.

Something doesn't add up & I cannot fathom what.

To be fair, you do have to get pretty close for it to eat all your oxygen. This does speak of a certain lack of vigilance on the part of our now-departed bubble chums imo.

Thank you, B. IUFG's post enforces my belief some humankind simply lack the intelligence to put the massive forest fire racing towards them & potential death together & make a logical decision based on it.

or perhaps the local weather conditions, changed by the massive fúcking fire, cause the fire to circle around on itself and trap animals (all of which have an survival instincts) within?

I admit that, say, a racoon, doesn't try and rescue its fúcking ipad from a burning house before beating a hasty retreat.

Perhaps the weather conditions did change. But if that is the case, why did the Fire Service/Police not evacuate people based on the forecast? It stinks of incompetence/laziness.

What close enough to kill? I think we've arrived back at the start, haven't we?

No. We have reached the stage where all concerned are surprised that one of the aforementioned scenarios (all of which would have mitigated the loss of life) had not come to fruition prior to the fire being close enough to asphyxiate/burn.

To be fair, you're just hypothesising now, though, aren't you?

No, for me, there's no excuse for getting killed by a forest fire in this day and age. I can't imagine what they thought they were up to.

I am actually.

Fundamentally the terrain and wind speed are the things that make the fire unpredictable.

A strong wind fuels the fire which in turn creates a strong wind, which fuels the fire...

The unpredictability of the fire is what kills.

That and gross stupidity
