I’ve heard of Australian bushfires traveling close to 100km/h (60mph) with a strong wind.
What’s even worse is if the flame front is diagonal to your path of travel. The flames might be going 50km/h, but if they’re coming at you at 60%, then you have to be going at least 100km/h to outrun them.
Fires don’t need to follow roads. If a fire is traveling perpendicular to the only road you have, you can’t drive away from it.
