Authorities suspect two fires that started on Tuesday in Turramurra on Sydney's north shore and Loftus in the Royal National Park were deliberately lit.

NSW Rural Fire Service Shane Fitzsimmons has called for anyone caught lighting fires to spend time behind bars as authorities investigate if two fires in Sydney were deliberately lit.

While firefighters were able to extinguish both blazes before property was lost, the effort diverted much-needed resources from other uncontained fires. Mr Fitzsimmons said the colour was simply a dye added to the phosphate-based product so aircrews could see where loads had landed. "Honestly, like I got in the car, and they were such lovely people. But it was really hard for me to focus because I was just like, what if my house has gone down?" he told AAP.A mother-of-three living in nearby West Pymble had packed her bags ready to leave when the fire emergency hit.

Terrorists ar doing same in California

Most Bush fires are lit by hypocrits.

Jail them!! 7NewsAustralia

Like most crimes in this country there is NO Deterrent !! Arsonists in this capacity whether they are teenagers or adults are not punished. If caught a slap on the wrist is about as severe as it’ll get. A life sentence should be the minimum not what the lawyers plead them out to

Get them 😭

Perhaps green voters ? Or Labor voters?

You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work it out fires just don’t start on their own

These individuals should be permanently removed from society. However, I'm firmly convinced media hysteria and hype is underpinning this abhorrent behavior.

Attempted murder charges apply

Whose idea was it to shut the schools again?

So M_McCormackMP and ScottMorrisonMP now need to talk about arson and justice. climateemergency politicalclimatevolatile DemocracyEmergency DefendOurDemocracy

If that’s the case it’s totally unbelievable
