I would expect very few . Most live in towns or on farms where they undoubtly have fire minimisation work and reduced fuel load. they also would be aware of their options . Hopefully better prepared than the couple shown last night on telly , checking their petrol fire pump located between 2 poly water tanks with exposed pvc piping supplying water to the pump fine for a little fire but an inferno would melt the tanks and pipe work leaving them no protection . It is all about relative safety but get it wrong and you can be cooked . If you have no fixed home ie camping or holidaying then getting out is probably the only thing you can do to help yourself . Canberra fires also proved that being in an urban area is not the total solution .
