A state report on a Victoria (Australia)wildlandfire where two firefighters died early this year says there were no errors in the management of the fire.
The Harrietville fire burned 37,000 hectares after being sparked by lightning. Two firefighters, Katie Peters, 19, and Steven Kadar, 34, died when a tree fell on their vehicle on February 13, according to a report on heraldsun.com (http://bit.ly/16niSPs).

The report dealt with how the fire extended across containment lines and addressed residents concerns about an interagency fracas that may have impacted firefighting efforts.
