Looks like the Red Hill fire isn't too far from Jane Brook and Stratton - both pretty densely packed suburbs...

oh cr@p - how far are you from each of them?

Funny living in the bush - I'm probably about 6kms from Red Hill one but can't see anything for the trees here.

Not my roster week! I assume that they have a crew at Red Hill, depending on how late it goes I may get a call for crew change later on.
