We all met at the Armadale coucil buildings where we had bacon and eggs and hash browns for brekky, followed by a briefing by Terry Ryan and some other guy, the way they was talkin it sounded like we'd be seein some action but yeah.. that wasnt to be.. anyways, they handed out hell detailed maps- 5 pages of the entire fire, split into 4 and with topographical and satallite pics of each. We went in a convoy of about 30+ vehicles down to Coolup.
