Myth.
They did "not" occur on one single day, the fires had been burning long before in the leadup, and long after just like now.
The fires were so significant a name was given for the most "catastrophic day" The current NSW and Vic fires had no catastrophic day, hence why they will always be known as the 2019/20 season.
Black Friday for example had very similar dates from the first small early November, to the first of the medium fires in December increasing in size leading up to the named day ( black friday 13th jan ) as the current East Gippsland fires 29th Dec.
Black Friday temperatures
43.8 °C (110.8 °F) on 8 January and 44.7 °C (112.5 °F) on 10 January. On 13 January, the day of the fires, temperatures reached 45.6 °C (114.1 °F),
Ps, I also live in the bush.
The damage did, hence the way they are known by the name of the day they happened.
Which I made clear several posts before that.
And as your figures show these fires are unprecedented for NSW.
If you live in the bush and spend this much time talking shit about fires then I hope you actually are a member of the CFA or whatever it is where you live.
