Fire was right at the back of myold house. Burnt down our Golf Club, over 2,000 hectares. Heaps of sheds and also 3 houses... 1 of those close friends with ours..

I live in Melbourne, but work in Wandong. Was meant to be working from 5pm onwards this w/end, but couldn't get up there due to the Hume being blocked and the fires. Just spoke to a colleague who lives there, she was out and was told not to return to her house, and to go to the local pub instead. Her neighbour just turned up and said at last sight her house was completely engulfed by flames, the poor woman could hardly speak, had a pony in the paddock, and 2 cats and 2 dogs.

Shit! I hope she and everyone else who is stuck get out safely.

Must be impossible to do your job when you know your wife is in big trouble. That too when the whole country can see you.

I was watching Ch9 news and they had pictures of the Helicopters trying to get a family of 5 who were trapped. The flames were literally 25-50m away.

Re: Bush fires

[Barnzy123]

Re: Bush fires

There's one really close to my house So much smoke it isn't funny, sky is filled with it.

 

[OzBomber]

Re: Bush fires

Yeah, it's even a bit hazy down here in Frankston. And we're miles away from the fires.

It is LIT these fires, but yes i agree. One is about 20km from us, all is good so far though!

Re: Bush fires

There are some in Whittlesea which is close to me, I hope everybody stays safe until they're under control.

As has been said, if you're in doubt about safety better to be safe and sorry, material possesions can be repalced, lives can't.

Nearly every day last week was worse than Ash Wednesday.

It all comes down to chance, and idiots. We were lucky today, if the Otways had gone up it would have been ****ed.

Re: Bush fires

I'm hearing that Kinglake is in some strife, 20km from my house in Hurstbridge with nothing in between but dry bush.

Re: Bush fires

Can someone please seriously tell me why on earth someone would light a ****ing fire.

Even worse, these people aren't always 20 year old bogans who are dickless and have achieved nothing in life.

Often they are mothers and fathers in their 40's with families and jobs.

What the **** gives.

This world will always have people who are ****ed in the head.

And if you are reading this and have those feelings of wanting to start a fire.

YOU ARE ****ED IN THE HEAD.
