Significant bush/scrub fires 2008/2009

[Tyranus]

nah nothing down this end, I think 6AR would run to a corner and start sobbing if there was one. East and West swan are mobile to an incident though in some other suburb, but I'm putting the smoke down to the fires up north because the others have just turned out.
