Re: DFES scanning
Raptor is (unfortunately) suggesting you purchase a radio which you don't have a license to operate. Should the ACMA catch you, you'll be fined and the radio confiscated.

Re: General fire discussions
Bullsbrook fire - I've heard from a friend in that area that Alkimos is on evacuation alert. Seems a bit far west, but wondering if anyone has any more info or even a map of the various warning zones?
