Sure was a big fire down at Baldivis. I hope to see some pics shortly from those members down that way. I was listening to it on the radio back at the station. The poor lady on 6AR/IP was having a hard time.

Was at the Utah fire last night. We got called away from our annual shire BBQ, along with two other shire brigades to go and help. It was a long way down into the national park, right on the Avon river/railway line. The terrain was impossible to drive up, and you could barely walk up the hills it was that steep and rocky. Parky, Glen Forrest, Sawyers Valley I think, East and West Gidge, Swan ICV, and a lot of DEC plus the fire King. About 6ha I think I heard.
