Last time I checked, a bushfire doesnt change the geographical location
of *everything*, like a 7.0 earthquake does.  Im sure there were OSM
updates in Australia after the fires of damaged infrastructure, but we
didnt have roads and buildings changing their geographical coordinates
with the ground shifting.
