I think there may be a flare up at Kings Park, alot of smoke has reappeared, coming from that direction.

Pics up soon of the flare up - just shows you hot day with moderate winds can take hold very quickly.... This fire is burning through new bush heading towards to old swan brewery.
P.S why dont quotes work anymore?

Perth CLP turning out to Swan brewery to get the stuff that's burning on the escarpment...Bet it's not often that gets turned out for a bush fire.
