Fires haven't stopped yet

[Winnie]

There is a serious bush fire near Mirboo North about 10 km from my house. Supposed to head in this direction overnight. Went outside to feed the dogs and sky is glowing red and strong smell of smoke. Could even see ashes floating around.

Hope everything will be OK for you Winnie....hopefully the cool change will hit with some decent rain before it gets too close.

To be honest I don't think we will be in much danger but you can never be over prepared for a fire, will be vigilante of course!

yeh seen that on the news earlier,

We woke up to our house stinking of smoke around 4am, the RFS has been doing hazard reduction burns in the near by areas for the last few days but didn't realise they were going to be burning all nigh long like last night, left for work at 6.10am and could not see 2 foot in front of me, it was that think with smoke.

Stay safe mate

Keep the radio on abc Winnie. With these winds it won't take long to travel 10km! Are you in a built up area?


LESS YAP YAP, MORE TAP TAP!!

I live in town but hard to call it a built up area. Surrounded by paddocks and bush land. Got stuff packed in the cars so we are ready to grab the dogs and leave if need be. Thorpdale has been placed on watch and act so we need to be prepared.

Hope it all goes well for you, Winnie.

As soon as your placed on watch and act, just go mate! Don't leave it to chance. Also keep a constant eye on the visibility outside, as it may decline well before you receive the warnings.
