Currently a big one out of control between Millicent and mount Gambier.
Gelburnie has been evacuated and a couple of properties already lost.
I think its in the pines so will be difficult.
Hopefully this cooler change aids the guys working hard threw the night
Cheers

hope it wasn't deliberate GGGRRRrrrr
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Between shepparton where I live and tatura over the last 12 months there has been roughly 40 deliberately lit fires which I find disgusting. . I travel the road regularly and have had too call the cfa several times for roadside fires, trying too put them out with my fire extinguisher and on board water waiting for them too arrive ( they are bloody quick too get out there too).
Apparently police made an arrest over the last day or 2 so I hope that person cops the full blow of the law
Like winne I am also in the emergency services, not the cfa however and it's been busy enough without people deliberately adding too it

Dont own a Patrol or any 4WD at the moment, hopefully will change into the future
How in one's right mind, someone "deliberately" lights stuff is just beyond me. I can somewhat understand, somebody (still not the right thing to do) chucking a ciggie butt out, and it ignites something... But deliberately going out of your way to light a fire is just farked. In the country we live in, so prone to devastating fires, law should be super tough no questions asked maximum punishment to one caught and proven guilty.

Totally agree to throw the book at them, things can be rebuilt and insurance covers other things
