Large fire down at Bannister, East side of Metro road. Air attack has to pull back to flank attacks due to increase head fire activity where the bombers and helicopters can't bomb it.

*** POLICE AND EMERGENCY SERVICE REQUEST ***

Move AWAY from the fire AREA, the water bombers CAN NOT DROP whilst people are spectating so close to the area.

Please LEAVE THE AREA as you are currently hindering efforts.
