[QUOTE="NavyBob, post: 28716, member: 1226"] Hi All, these fires are to the North West of me, at one stage from my roof could see the flames, we have had burning embers for about two hours until the wind changed to the South East. The area the fire started is hobby farms some 10-50ha mostly horses and other live stock but a lot of cars were burnt out too. It is now 10.20pm and there is still a red glow and the fire is six times bigger than the initial one which started some time around 9.30-10.00am. A real blow because there was some real old colonial homes out there I was going to run the detector over after hunting the owner down and getting the ok in writting, all gone now and roped off for demolition. :( Re bushfires. The RFS did have training for being caught out in the bush and needing shelter from an advancing fire front maybe ask your local group? Bob. [/QUOTE]
