Just been told that theres a fairly big fire near Cunderdin, units from Northam and Grass Valley etc on their way but my scanner can't pick up anything that far away... does anyone know any more? Tried to get hold of the other half but he's out fighting it and the mobile reception is pretty ordinary:(

I dont think Grass Valley turned out to the fire but was on stand by as well as the other brigades in Northam Shire because of the lightning.

[colin]

I was travelling home at about 2100 and heard grass valley advise 6IP that they had returned to the shed.
