A friendly reminder to all - this thread is used by folks with mobile phones to keep abreast of fires that may be impacting on themselves or their property. Please keep the posts here on topic relating FACTS about CURRENT fires. Anything not referring to actual bush/scrub fires in progress need to go elsewhere. Rumours and "I think I heard" comments are not welcome as it can cause distress.

Also remember that quoting and other BB Code doesn't work here as it makes mobile phone use of the thread difficult. Thanks.
