Homes of volunteer firefighters among 350 structures lost so far in ‘heartbreaking’ Victorian bushfires

The loss of homes, particularly those belonging to volunteer firefighters, underscores the personal toll these events take on communities. The government's response, including fundraising efforts, is crucial, but it also raises questions about long-term disaster preparedness and resilience in the face of such challenges.
