It was 48 Celsius-118 Fahrenheit. That is before the heat of the fire. Fire loves heat. It has been shown when a large room has a fire burning on one side, once the air temp gets high enough the room room breaks right out in flames in 30 seconds or less. Spontaneous combustion its name.
I seen reports that people were melting in the heat, the fire was close by but the heat killed them. Areas went up in flames in 3 mins. Animals were running around with their fur on fire, trees were felling and blocking roads so people could not drive out. The wind would change direction and another large area would break out in flames 2-3 mins later. Hundreds were killed, its going to be days before all the bodies are found.
Heck areas right outside of Toronto and by my home be in big time trouble if the air temp went to 48 and no rain for weeks...but it isn't going to happen in our lifetime--12 is a heatwave right now, lol.
Oh...if its true some SOB started those deadly fires
