The Wattle Grove fire is burning very near the house my family almost bought about 8 years ago.
Thank God we didn't!

Slightly overprotective Deputy and Chief FCOs in Armadale IMHO, especially involving anything within the Roleystone ward. One can understand there stance on the situation though.

Did anyone hear DM Newburn (I'm pretty sure it was) acting as Wungong control monday morning get his weather report from 6AR?
6AR: Wungong control i have a weather report for you, i am assuming you have a fax down there for me to fax it to you.
Wungong Control: stand-by 6AR i just check my glov-box... Sorry no fax machine there 6AR!]

In a FIRE rocky 1st,2nd and hope valley will require a water source somehow, so im assuming our 9.2 and 4.4 will be asked to assist and possibly kwinana sth4.4 and other high quantity water carriers in the area IF NEEDED
we have nothing for a spill
hope this clears a little bit up for you guys, if someone knows more please correct if im wrong
cheers

Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? That with 38 forecast for tomorrow and 40 for friday, we may be in for some scrubbies or bushies?

Depends on whether any little firebugs get out in that weather - I'm a firm believer that fires don't just start themselves...

Heat alone is never a problem.. its the wind that causes grief (and as meg said, the miscreants that light them).
