That's probably been the best way to show this data so far. Very easy to relate to the size of Ireland. Very easy to tell just how bad it is down under!
If you're overseas like me use the westpac donation link and a credit card (visa or mastercard). You can donate to NSW firefighters as a whole or to a specific station. I found my home town's station by typing in the postcode as the names in the search don't always reflect the town.

"data is beautiful" doesn't really match how this information makes me feel...

Please consider donating directly to our NSW fire fighters

Stay safe everyone!
Edit: since this got a little traction here's an excellent donation thread full of useful information for anyone interested. I'd also like to mention that WIRES is our national wildlife organisation and they are going to be stretched very thin by the end of this also.
