Ok folks

After some discussion with Meg and feedback from a couple of other FESA forum regulars, the policy regarding this thread is having a slight alteration.

It is still a predominantly third alarm thread however if it is a significant bushfire (ie threatening homes and businesses) that is at least second alarm then it will be acceptable. If it's not one of those things then post it in this thread otherwise it will be removed.

If you're not sure where to put it, post it in this thread and the mods will move it where it belongs.

Please keep the posts to factual information - not rumour, hearsay, possibilities, theories etc. Also keep the information brief and to the point.

Thankyou for your cooperation.

I thought yesterday was in Chidlow, but you're describing Sawyers Valley (which is right next to Chidlow)
