Thanks all. I have a lot of faith in our emergency crews who do a magnificent job.

The main problem at the moment is that the wind has picked up, which wont help matters, but compared to the Eastern States this, at the moment, is only a comparatively small fire.

Ironically, on this evenings news was a report that a large fire bomber, hired from the USA has now landed in WA and is to be based at the RAAF base at Pearce, near Perth.

I hope that it is not needed in this instance :-)

So worrying, especially when you know how a situation can escalate.
I hope this fire can be brought under control.

Stay safe and let us know how things are, if you are able.

I have family and friends in Oz Allan but being so far away it is hard to imagine and to know what to keep saying other than 'stay safe, thinking of you'.
Stay safe.

Perhaps it is now our turn :-(

There is an uncontrolled bushfire at Kemerton, about fifteen kilometres from us.

The first indication that we had that there was a problem somewhere close was when a plane, which we found out later was a small aerial water bomber, passed over our house virtually at roof top level.

Then on the news the location was given. Kemerton is an industrial area servicing the Greater Bunbury area.

Hope that it is soon under control as my son works there, ironically at the Silicon Smelter.

Just love the sound of sirens, but unfortunately these are not the type to lure lonely sailors to their doom :-D
