Oh sounded like it had gone up again because the guy down on ocean road had called 000 saying it was getting close to house ? thats when i heard freo 1st call 2nd alarm n so on.
Mustve been too seperate fires down on that rd i guess.

I was first on scene at the Parky fire last night, and am going out to it tonight. Parkerville has had a very busy season this year.

I have been told that the Devon Place is officially out, but will continue patrols until tomorrow night and the Parky/Stoneville one is out just the odd flare-up now and then. Last night the winds were 40kph, gusting to 70kph, so hop overs were a big problem, and its going to be 39 tomorrow!

I had the FESA audio streaming through my Pocket PC while I was in bed. I fell asleep with it still running. It woke me up at some time - must have been around 5.
Yes, it is Cockburn Sound, not South.
