Aren't we getting of the subject of major fires here. I'm sure there is another thread that can be used such as appliances instead of this thread
Well thanks for your insight Padfoot, you may want to direct your dismay to the Moderator though, as he is responsible for the continued diversion.

Parkie fire reignited yesterday
I have been doing patrols at the parky fire for the last few days, and went to that 're-ignition'. It was about 2 square metres, about 1km in from all edges of fire, but better to be safe. There are still a few stags and logs here and there. Stoneville had a call but I think that was the same sore of thing.

And got a call to a bin fire last night, in the middle of the road, and I have never smelt anything like that before. I think the quote "a smell that will out last religion" fits in here.
