all the members up in the Northern Suburbs, stay safe

Front door in Quinns Rock, about 7kms from the fire. We have left our place and headed to oldies in the hills as we were getting embers and chunks of coal.

Will head back home tomorrow.

Some have already lost houses and people fleeing are being nabbed for speeding and being hit with fines.

Fairly big write up about it on perth now.

This website shows a great over view of whats been going on with the fires

Minister for War and the spawn are still at home.... watching and waiting. I'm up on site! They have a "Go" bag organised and I have told them to take off if they feel threatened in anyway at all. Hopefully, the fire has calmed down today...

Bizarre tho as we have flooding up here at the moment!

[oncedisturbed]

Quinns is all clear now so you can let Jo know. Fire heading north to alkimos and a couple of flare ups from the bully fire.

Dads at the DFES command post so get fairly regular updates

[NissanGQ4.2]

Has the intensity of the fires died down 2day?, have not heard any reports of looked at the RFS site 2day.

???????????

Watch and act is not a controlled fire even if its not threatening property unless NSW and WA Watch and Acts differ a lot in there meanings

Have done, and there terms are the same.



BUSHFIRE BEHAVIOUR:

The bushfire has reduced in intensity but is moving slowly in a westerly direction.
It is out of control and unpredictable.
The fire has crossed Old Yanchep Road and could still burns towards Wanneroo Road.
Firefighters are expecting the wind to shift from an easterly to a south westerly at 12.00pm today.
This means homes in Muchea and Chittering may be threatened by the fire.
There is a risk that burning embers could be blown around your home.

[Clunk]

I would assume that these are the same nationally

Fire has turned around back towards bullsbrook


:( Bullsbrook, looks like a relative built up suburb, hope they get on top off it

not where the fire is currently but it is more built up on the East side of the Great Northern Hwy...... (if I remember rightly)

[oncedisturbed]

Built up both sides, west side is mainly the RAAF base and then some west of that towards neaves rd and the east is building up right to the hills

[oncedisturbed]

Old man just let us know of a new set up by DFES which is called "DFES Feeds". Its on the the play store so assuming it will be on crapple as well. Very accurate on alerts being issued, levels, live updates etc

Also currently checking out an app called "National Bushfires", name is fairly obvious and breaks it down state by state

This photo is doing the rounds at the moment. Taken by a volunteer firey Friday night at the Yanchep fires.

Hopefully that's not the ANGEL OF DEATH.

Another fire had broken out in the other side of bullsbrook now near ellenbrook, same st as a mate lives on.

Some lil prick just set the bush on fire at gumblossom hall behind us in quinns where they just finished using it as an evac centre for the weekend fires. Hope they string the whacker up by his toes with razor wire for endangering more people.
