Oxygen bottles sunk into the ground.

Expensive option IMO. If the area round your house is cleared and you have a water pump, defending a house isnt THAT difficult.

Yep. It's mostly just about putting out embers so they don't start fires.

woolworths donate $1 million, who pays for that. yes you through higher crocery prices

Just because people didn't have fire shelters doesn't mean they were retards...in most bushfire scenarios having a properly prepared property and a good water supply is enough to get through it, but this wasn't "most" bushfire scenarios (see kwayera's link).

Yes once you've taken out those embers there's nothing to worry about

*house is wiped out by firestorm which can kill from 140m away or something.*

Most houses are destroyed by falling embers and such that aren't put out, not the firestorm itself. Dickhead.

Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our's meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..

I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....[etc]
