Marysville is one of the destroyed towns. It's not even *in* the bush. There were just hills in the middle distance all round with forest cover. When the fire was happening it must have lit up the hills and then all of a sudden the fire was in the town. The fire jumped from hillside to hillside in the high heat with the dry north winds behind it.
