You can also watch the small fire in the shrubbery at the house on the corner erupt into something much bigger. |
From 2:19 to 2:49 it goes from a small spot fire from drifting embers to something capable of engulfing the house! 30 sec!!

I've got to congratulate many of those drivers for their traffic manners in that situation. I would have completely understood the motorcyclist scooting past the whole line of traffic, or at the very least shielding himself from radiant heat on the driver's side of the pickup. Instead he patiently waits his turn in a line of traffic. Other drivers too patiently wait in a an orderly line. In the right hand lane of the road closest to the road when their is no two way traffic except for Emergency Services! This says volumes about the inherent courtesy of Canadian drivers compared to Australians.
