    Catastrophic fire conditions victoria and SA

    Dry hot and northerly wind are a bad mix for disaster. Hopefully nothing eventuates out of this.
    Stay vigilant and report anything you see that is a bit suss...anything!

    REMEMBER TOTAL FIRE BAN!!!

    We all know what happened in 2009!

    I swear that they had one on the news late last nigh, Pretty sure they were talking about an actual fire in VIC and not just that its going to be extremely bad conditions.

    Maybe I just hear it wrong or the beers affected my hearing in vision *L*

    Stay safe anyway guys and girls

    Already starting to heat up hear us well, got to love living next to bushland, always in the back of your mind esp when u smell smoke that could be miles away

    Thanks mate, everyone is panicking over here, racing down the street to fill up their tanks, etc...Worst day since Black Saturday down here!!!

    The CFA app is great too. Put your address in the APP and set it up with a 10km radius to get warnings sms'd to you for any fires.

    I'm about to send the family off to their parents, I'm taking my computer and about to hook up the camper to the GQ and park it in my brothers paddock, the rest of the house and belongings are superficial crap....Save the GQ and camper though!!!!!!

    One more thing....Stick your head out of the house every half hour at least, look in the hills, smell any smoke?

    Loads of people on Black Saturday sat in their house all day watching TV with the A/C on not knowing there was a mammoth bush fire outside their door....
