    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

    I got the CFA call out but I am at work... Spewing... It has been reported as pine tree roots on fire, nothing to worry about yet.
    Thorpy is safe with all the spud paddocks surrounding us =)

    CFA app is now reporting it as ’safe’.

    Yes I called the guys before, was a very very small grass fire, they spent about 30 seconds putting it out.

    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

    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.
