Always have the ABC radio on in the back ground and as Andy said stick ya nose out the window every 30 min as at the end of the day it is your best friend and one you can rely on 100% unlike the failures that took place with the monitoring systems and failure to warn people what was actually happening.
Lets hope this is all just talk and before you know it we are all drinking beer wondering what mod to do to our rigs next!!!!!
I also got the Uniden scanner and tuned in the 20 local CFA channels....Best buy!!!
Just leave it on scan and listen to whats going on in your area....
Yeah I got a scanner app on the phone playing over the speakers at work.
Yeah I got that app..... have not used it for some time now!!!
Forgot I had it actually .
That I believe is the best idea, rather than relying on TV / Radio broadcasts.Quote:

One of these days I will invest in a desktop scanner, so I can a better aerial range
I just went outside to see how hot it is and could smell smoke straight away?????
I am in the northern suburbs and the wind in blowing from Andrews direction which is not common at all, normally comes from northwest or southwest but this is from the northeast??
Could be a small grass fire along the freeway or something like that???
And the wind has picked up in the last 20 min..
The cfa site is crashing, no idea mate!!!
The wind should be North or North North West going by the weather mapQuote:
