Thankyou! I know I too sometimes stray from the topic, but please people try to keep this thread (at least) on topic.
The reason I ask this is perhaps best illustrated by my experience returning home from work tonight.
It's 6:30pm, I've had a _huge_ day at work and as my partner and I are driving up Gt Eastern Hwy we can see smoke above the hills but can't see the source. I use my mobile phone to check this thread because we want to know:
a. If our house/street/town is on fire
b. If we can get home up Gt Eastern Hwy or if we should take another route.
So on my mobile I spend about 5 minutes getting this thread to load but there's no talk about the huge plume of smoke that must be visible across a large part of the metro area, just people wanting to vent about why they don't get called to fires.
I'm not saying don't vent, but I really would appreciate it if it could go into other threads.
Perhaps it's just me and perhaps I'm the only mobile web user of the gang, but I do find this forum an incredibly good resource for information on current fires, how they affect me including whether they are sizable enough that I may get called out of area and can start getting my stuff ready to do just that. I'd appreciate if this thread could stay that way.
Thanks all
Meg
