Perhaps He Was Trying To Burn the Child Porn

According to this blog's news partner, CNN, Victoria, Australia state police has arrested a man in connection with one of the bush fires that's responsible for the deaths of at least 181 people. The unnamed suspect was charged with arson causing death, intentionally or recklessly lighting a bush fire, and possessing child pornography.

Last Saturday, the Churchill fire, guided by fierce winds raged through rural parts of southeast Australia, some 50 miles northeast of Melbourne. The majority of the dead were found in Marysville.

The fatality toll is still expected to rise to at least 300.
