Vic: Building regulations and bunkers under commission spotlight
Victorian building regulations will be scrutinised by the royal commission into the
devastating bushfires that killed 173 people across the state early this year.
The commission has started a fresh block of hearings today which will hear evidence
about how houses ignite and burn .. and what factors contribute to the survival of a house
during a bushfire.
It will also examine the evidence for and against the use of bushfire bunkers.
Counsel assisting MELINDA RICHARDS has told the commission the events of Black Saturday
showed houses don't save people.
