An increasingly common phenomenon in high temp - high wind firestorms here
is flashover explosions of ignited smoke.Flashover is is defined as the
spontaneous ignition of most items within a contained area, (which could
include any firefighters.) A typical flashover fire can create heat up to
1,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melbourne au just set a new record for air pollution with smoke haze over
most of the state of Victoria.
And there's smoke about the world now with temperatures and winds
increasing.Brace for a flashpoint such has not been seen since a Russian
sub almost fired its nukes during the Cuba crisis.
I am not saying repent lest ye burn in hell,but then again maybe I am.Hell
on earth.
On a lighter note...
Rats respond to gas...

CARBON MONOXIDE, the poison gas produced by vehicle exhausts, could prove
to be a life saver for heart surgery patients, new research suggests.
Scientists found that rats exposed to the poison were less likely to suffer
complications after undergoing heart operations. Carbon monoxide may
therefore be beneficial in a wide range of heart and blood circulation
diseases, the United States researchers believe.
