How dumb are people?

At least three CFS volunteers were treated by SA Ambulance paramedics for minor burns and smoke inhalation, an SA Ambulance Service spokesman said.

A CFS truck was destroyed in the flames.

Early indications for the source of the fire were traced to the use of an incinerator, the CFS said on Thursday night.

Asked who would use an incinerator on a day of catastrophic fire conditions, CFS State Co-ordinator Brenton Eden said: “Someone who is going to regret it.”

Not unless they need interstate strike teams.

That Lower South East fire is not sounding to good been overlooked by the media.

The Humbug Scrub heading towards Golden Grove, Banksia Park, Fairview Park and Tea Tree Gully now. Seen on Facebook a few people living in those suburbs getting the automated texts to prepare to evacuate.

The fire looks massive - could see it from the Port River Expressway tonight!

How dumb are people?

Just as dumb as those going up to the fire to sightsee.

How can people be so dumb and still breathe!

Sounds like it is growing in size fast from hearing the CFS channels

And two emergency broadcast updates in half an hour.

It looked big from the Port River Expressway. Hope it doesn't travel too far west.

Yep - rumour is we'll be deployed shortly.

And yes, Drugs Are Bad Mackay? Some people are extremely stupid.

Greenwith was caught off guard last night

People, honestly...

Stay safe Vooligan and anyone around the area.

Could have lost more homes due to the water bombers been delayed

 

[Vooligan]

Should be heading up there around 11am. Scary thought, considering the sheer size, conditions and the 110kmph winds expected.

 

[Vooligan]

If any of you guys are in or around Greenwith, don't **** around and just get out!

My advice is if you're anywhere even remotely close, especially down wind from the fire, just get the hell out. Houses can be replaced, people cannot. Stay safe everyone.

Amen to that

 

[hey shorty]

Most of my family live in Gumeracha, all been told to leave. 2 mates houses gone and my childhood home is also in danger. My missus cousin was evacuated from Greenwith, being on the other side of the world right now trying to holiday...... just can't.
