I'm SoR, near the bottom of Kalamunda hill.

It is *VERY* windy here right now. Hop over is my guess.

My vegie patch has decided to keel over due to the strong winds here in the last hour or two. Came out of nowhere...

grade 3 refreshments required for rockingham fire approx 40 people

[treeny]

talk of hop over was in refernece to the rockingham incident, but yes, there has been hop overs everywhere. forrestfield had a flare up approx 25mins ago

WEATHER UPDATE: Temperature in the metro area is hovering around the high 20's. Wind from ESE at an average of 35km/h, gusting to an average of 40kh/h.

my visual on the forrestfield fire shows a flare up. lots of flashing lights heading towards it.
(im in my bedroom on the top of the house with a pair of binoculars)

me thinks that palm tce control plans on standing down crews that hav been goin since 1600. if belmont is heading to that location they may be relieving.
