The elimination of bush fires

Whilst wandering through Bold Park today I came across a large placard describing the revegetation project in progress, consisting of the removal of weeds and the planting of native plants. It noted that this work was necessary because of a wildfire in 2000 that burnt out many hectares of the park.

In Australia, fires in the bush have until now been universally known as bush fires. The term wildfire has been reserved for the idiom like wildfire, such as in the news spread like wildfire. I suppose the land management authorities will use this change as linguistic sleight-of-hand to claim that their new pratices have eliminated bush fires.

An aside: I have just hit my first Google error ever (since I started using it in 1998 or 1999).

Is this the start of their decline?
