My family’s home (and many others) is almost surrounded by bushfires in NSW. How do the brave fire fighters control huge flames and fire storms? Can they control them? Or do they just have to run their course till there is nothing left to burn? I’d just like to understand it a little better. And if there are any fireys (fire fighters in Australia) reading this… thank you for all you do. You are incredibly brave.

They can do things like dig break ditches.
They basically take a wide enough line of the vegitation out between the fire and the unburnt brush so the fire cant spread further or to slow it down enough so evac is easier.
