Star Swamp in Duncraig is alight again

looks like its a local serial arsonist hope thy find the f****r soon. I remember school excursions to there when i was in and it was a unique wetland in the middle of suberbia. Its a shame to see it getting destroyed

Bit of an oops. let the ICV and helitacs go, now they've been called back again.

Hi guys...

From a member of the forum - has advised me - of a Huge blaze burning somewhere in the Hills - either Gooseberry Hill, or Mundaring Weir Rd - Can anyone else confirm?

Post by **meg** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 2:13 pm

I can see the smoke from work, looks a bit north of Gooseberry Hill (to me) and not far enough up the hill for Mundaring.

Zig Zag.

Surprised theres anything to burn there.. the whole area is pretty sparse theres been that many fires through there in the years..

The smoke has been quite black at times. It doesn't look like your average bushfire smoke to me.

Its Kalamunda BFB's ICV. Just 'coz they are using 6IP, doesn't mean its a BFB fire.. (its actually an FRS job by the sounds)
