You are an ass. This is obviously an off-the-scale level of destruction. I live in one of the most bushfire prone areas in the world, and the advice is that suburbia is generally safe, even when you border a high risk area, so long as you're a couple of blocks away from that border. The pic in the OP looks to be a suburban area, and they're completely fucked.
The firies were probably concentrating on saving lives rather than assets.
