Stats, every 10 years, this season is number 10, The Weather is going to be drier, hotter than average with less rain. Its shaping up to be a very bad one, last year was very quiet considering.

Firefighters are battling a bushfire in Gidgegannup this afternoon.

The blaze is burning near the intersection of Reen Road and Toodyay Road.
