Bertram fire pretty well out now crews are just mopping up.. dont know how long they will be there for yet. another fire has broken out on thomas road in the mudlakes i dont know whats goin to happen with that one.
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 :)
