Significant bush/scrub fires 2008/2009

Here's the new sticky.
Edit - 27/12/2008
This thread is predominantly for third alarm and above bush fires however if it is a significant fire (ie threatening homes and businesses) that is at least second alarm then it will be acceptable. If it's not one of those things then post it in one of the other, more appropriate threads.
Please keep the posts to factual information - not rumour, hearsay, possibilities, theories etc. Also keep the information brief and to the point.
Thankyou for your cooperation.

Sure that's all the appliances? Generally not enough to classify a 3rd alarm....

DEC says there's a "Biodiversity Management burn 5km SE of Byford" today. That might be it.
