X is Wattle Ave (road up to the raceway).

There's water on Perry Rd (Hydrants that run up to the power station) and a water tank at the raceway

relief crews from other brigades are there for mop up now. Looks like there saying 2200 atm for standing down but we will see.
burnt out quite a large area and was a good effort to prevent structure and further property loss.
Thankyou for the updates Philby :)
