Firefighters say two missing in Blue Mountains house fire are children

Back to that house fire in the Blue Mountains we reported earlier:

Firefighters are moving into the home with hose lines to gain access to the areas where they can search for the unaccounted for people.

When I thought about it a bit more as the ... day rolled on, I couldn't help but feel a bit angry about it as well, which I think is a human response to a tragic set of circumstances.

I don't want to exaggerate it, but nor do I want to dismiss it. I think there was a couple of people that partook in the activity. And the reason for the anger is it's just so self-indulgent.

Any act of self-indulgence or any attempts to commandeer Anzac Day away from the cause that it actually represents, I think should be responded to with a full-hearted response by leaders around the country just about how outrageous it is.
