Folks can we please keep this thread only on confirmed 3rd alarm (or above) bush fires and leave the general discussion on other more suitable threads. We have a number of people who use this thread on their mobile phones during the summer fire season. They just want the facts as a fire mentioned in the thread may be threatening their properties. Thanks!

That was quick! I recall that John Forrest is an automatic 3rd alarm (I'm recalling this from a while back) so it could be that it wasn't as big as initially presumed.
