No onion, no garlic, no chilli, no pepper... NO POINT!!
Just got home from the Devon road incident, Parkerville. We got the call at 4:50. I was fast asleep when the pager went off, it woke me up and it read "property under threat', and that quickly got me wide awake. The Carson was there today, and it is a Beast! It has a great sound.

Lots of Mandogalup crews in the action...
Were you the one filming on the main road around 6-7 turbo ?.
Lots of cres were thrown at this fire very early which made containment very quick. Several houses were very lucky with fire surrounding them no furtherthan 1 metre from front door.
As usual helitacs did a great job and arrive very quicdkly frrom parkerville

Was in LT 2. Was there just in time to stop the fire surrounding the house next to the main area that we were all working on. Then dissapeared up to the local school for a gas leak. By the time we got back most the blackening out was done.
