I think my friend who commented after you has more to worry about in that case... =P Then again, I've only visited some of these places once. Number or length of visits doesn't seem to be a factor... <strong>@ Ee Wei</strong> So far... But there was also a small fire during a gathering (either Christmas or a birthday) at my Godfather's place. A very minor incident, so I didn't write about it. Looks like other people's houses not immune... @ Chun See Heheh.

I knew I was missing a fire. I just recalled it as some theme park. Couldn't remember where or when. Thanks for filling that gap. Ah! I knew I was missing a fire.

Your alias should have been pyro-matic! Yes, forest fires are a bane to Australian rural communities and some have taken matters into their own hands. They equip themselves with pressure hoses that connect to extensive pipelines that ring the town. They also clear a de-forested buffer around the town and clear their surroundings and roofs of anything that is flammable. They conduct drills with the local fire service and deploy the neighborhood watch when the state government issues the fire ban. In recent years, there have been cases of pyromaniacs lighting forest fires, causing wanton acts of destruction. These criminals should be hung by the neck until dead. Fires seem to follow you?
