I don't know the final figure, but the total area of land burnt was well in excess of a million acres (in fact, I understand about one-sixth of the entire area of England.)

If it's really a sixth of the area of England it must be over 5 million acres. England is about 50,000 square miles, which is about 32 million acres.

Anyway, may I join with everyone else in extending my condolences to all affected by this appalling tragedy.
