I've left the stream on channel 32 (ch260 WAERN) tonight as it's the channel being used for the Red Hill fire.

Will switch back to 6AR in the morning.

[Helitak_670]

at 0130 I have just been informed that the fire is 500m from brigadoon.

Hi has this come from radio traffic or you/ someone on scene?, trying to keep up to date

Sounds like the proverbial has hit the fan at Red Hill, all our Jandakot units ( LT1 & 2, 12.2 ) and South Coogee units have been turned out at 1am this morning.

Update: South Coogee hasn't got the call yet, might be holding onto a few units to remain in the south.

info straight from someone on the fireground.

[Triggs]

No Worries, can you keep on with the up dates?

[Helitak_670]

the red hill fire is contained, some spotfires popping up here and there. 0320

[Helitak_670]

the head fire has been nailed, 2 flanks are going well. Most appliances are setting up for asset protection.

For those who need updates - this is the latest from the FESA website - https://internet.fesa.wa.gov.au/alerts/ ... temId=2006

Quite a few properties under threat. Doesn't look like these strong ESE's will help at all..

The wind isn't helping anyone. Good luck to everyone on the fire ground.
