It has been too quiet this season. Me thinks that they have all been locked up.

Or at home in bed at 1am in the morning two weeks in a row.... yes I would prefer. There were also a few fires late in the season last year (March/April Easter Period) so lets hope the rest of the season continues to be relatively quiet.gkoutlis wrote:In all honesty - Let's hope it stays this way guys... Wouldn't you prefer sitting at home or at work in Airconditioned comfort rather than fighting deliberatley lit fires? I'm happy there arn't any.

I love getting this message early Sunday mornings...Shire of Mundaring gets a page advising if the Fire danger is Very High or Extreme.
If it's any consolation, we haven't been up your way yet eitherSamW wrote:I love getting this message early Sunday mornings...Shire of Mundaring gets a page advising if the Fire danger is Very High or Extreme.
And yes it has been very quiet, I don't think we have had any call outs to fires in our own area this season, nor have we been up Joondalup way this season either, we normally go up there a few times in summer to help out. But there is still a long time left until the weather starts to cool down.
