Nope. It's FACT. I've just come back from a Midnight shift and this was confirmed by DEC as well. As I was departing, FRS Heavy Rescue/USAR Combination truck rocked up. Photo to follow soon.

Normal Road conditions, as there is no running fire as of when I was departing. However, highest area of concern was the western flank bordering Perth to Bunbury Hwy.

I'm guessing they're concerned about possible containment line breaches? If only you guys could have some of Brissy's rain.

Don't you mean eastern flank? The fire is to the west of the Forrest Highway.

FESA Media Liaison stated on ABC Radio 720 at 11:25 that three houses were confirmed lost and they are checking on the others.

Last night the commercial media were pretty sure at least 6 homes were lost so it probably just needs confirmation.
