Lets keep the discussion on the fires please. Any non-fire related discussions can go to other more appropriate threads.

i heard gidgie 7.2 was called also after about 45 min to bring more water,this house is just a couple of hundred meters past my place on bunning rd,my sympathy to those people so sad to lose such a nice house,on my way home had to drive past and noticed one of the tankers was badly bogged in the adjoining paddocks couldnt see their name on side but rough guess looked at least a 3.4 or bigger
