Black saturday anniversary

Yep and that is were most of the problem lies, why are people in Bush fire prone areas or even close 2 bush relying on warnings from broadcasters, people need 2 keep aware of whats going on outside not just sit in front of a computer, TV or radio. While I listen 2 the RFS scanner and have the RFS fires near me map open on hot days, I also get outside and look for signs / smells of smoke......

Totally agree with you. I hope that the bit you quoted from my post didn't lead you or anyone to think I thought otherwise. My point was really about people who had suffered every bit as much as those in the doco, but there was certainly a feeling in the area of having been 'forgotten'.
