Australia Fires: update

Bill Gabbert posted this update on the wildfires in Australia in his blog on Feb. 10.

From what I read in Bill's post and elsewhere, the U.S. Government is sending wildland fire crews to Australia. I believe that this effort is being coordinated by the National Interagency Coordination Center. Check out this discussion thread on wildlandfire dot com for more information.
