The fire is spotting 15 km's ahead of the front..... imagine fighting a fire then having it pop up 10 miles behind you ...

Hello, Aussie here.

Lots of places you can donate and even $10 helps a lot. Please share the links around, too.

Americans etc can donate with PayPal here, reputable sources:

GERF

2 GIVIT

Selecting either ‘NSW bushfire’ or ‘drought relief’ is really helpful at the moment, as the droughts have been a huge reason we’ve had such bastard fires.

Local, and maybe the best options if your card works here:

CFA

The CFA, (Country Fire Authority) where donations go to training, supplies, lunches, trucks, hoses and gear etc. the CFA is mostly VOLUNTEER based fire fighting, which is absolutely insane. Based in Victoria

RFS

Like the CFA there is also the RFS which is the same thing but for the state of New South Wales.

CFS

CFS for South Australia, who are also suffering from absolutely devastating fires.

Cheers!!

Edited to add paypal links for the yanks.

Edit 2 from Articunozard:

“Hijacking to say that number 3 (CFA) can be donated to outside of Australia, I just filled in the default info for the address form (whatever the example given for phone number and postal code, 1 for suburb code, and 1 Test Dr. for address) and then my actual credit card info. Seemed to work fine!”

Edit 3. Thank you all very much for donating. Please, no flame wars on the thread- but special shout out to the people bringing Africa and India up. Trust me, I know that the world is fucked up at the moment. All we can do is be kind, listen, and register to vote for people who genuinely, truly, want change now. Cheers.
