Police are questioning two people in relation to the bushfires in southern Australia that have killed at least 181 people and left 5,000 homeless.
Detectives had responded to a report of suspicious behaviour in a badly fire-hit area of Victoria state, they said.
The investigations are in their initial stages, and police would not say if the two being questioned were suspects or in custody. Neither has been charged.
At least two of the deadly fires were started deliberately, authorities say.

Wow.
So the arsonists waited until the conditions were "perfect" to maximize the havoc?
