Perth Bush Fires

don't know how close XLR8, RustyNail, n.nankervi, Big Pete... and any others are too the bush fires going on at the moment in Perth, but if your close bye, be safe guys, my thoughts and prayers are with u

Hard to understand after what we have just had (Floods) but our thoughts are with you guys.
Keep safe

there's reports of them being started deliberately, bloody mongrels need stringing up if its true, I really don't understand the mentality of these people.

Nah just tie them to a tree in line of the fire using barbed wire!

Whats going on in this country at the moment, bloody inland tsnunami's ,floods across qld nsw vic, severe storm events , heatwaves in s.a. & now bush fires in w.a.
What the?

Stay safe everyone.

I don't know what to say anymore except STAY SAFE my fellow Patrolers & keep you friends & loved ones well informed so thay aren't sick with worry for you.

there was some stuff on the news before speculating that one of them could have been started by an angle grinder :oops:

Well, I must say that having been an Emergency Services Volly for quite a few years I have seen NOTHING like the last 12 months. :jawdrop:

I mean I was involved in the 2001 and 2002 Sydney Fires and a heap of others since plus Cyclones, Floods, Storms etc but not one after another and especially not all at the same bl00dy time.

Here in lower WA we had Carnarvon and surrounds wiped out by Floods, Cyclone Bianca just ran out of puff before hitting Perth (the first since Cyclone Alby 30 odd years ago) and now a poopoo load of fires and heaps of homes destroyed while 4 Eastern States are under water and Yasi had a good go at wiping out Cardwell and all points from Cairns to Townsville just a few days after Anthony.

I've worn out 3 sets of SES clobber and don't even seem to be able to unpack from one event to the next... can't remember how long ago I did a full week at work. :tease:

PS... for you Qld'rs I luv Cardwell and Hinchinbrook, one of may fav places in Oz. Got relo's at Tully and so very glad Yasi was so sparing of human casualties now to hope that the people involved with Perth Fires are equally as lucky.

Remember we are after everything else, Aussies... so "She'll be right, Mate, your Cobbers are here":icon_victory:

well the kelmscott/roley fires were only 10kms-20km from mine but it wasnt to bad still see flames on the hillside atm

I pray they turn away and burn out soon.
