Bad again in Victoria

[Chucaro]

A house is lost to the fire in Belgrave Heights and 2 firefighters have also been injured.

When is going to finish?
I hope that lifes are not going to be lost.
Is any member of AULRO in the area?

Thats terrible news. I do hope everyone gets thru this.

My work is granting me up to a weeks leave at a time to assist if we are called upon. I hope there are more employers like that out there. Get this fire out once and for all.

I live about 15-20 min from there and i can see the smoke from my place.This afternoon i saw the choppers and all CFA guys flying past here.The smoke was unbelievably thick.And what makes it worse is the change has come through and its starting to get real windy.:(:(

That's not good news :( We had quite a few close calls and 1 injury last week on my deployment.

Going back down on Sunday for more :angel:

I live about two minutes from the fire area. We were north west of the fire so the dense smoke was blowing away from us. You could tell from the colour of the smoke that a house had gone up.

The kids even saw our area on the TV and were asking how close are we. They even asked about Elvis.

Half an hour later Elvis flew over. Noisy...just unbelievable. It was about 80 metres up and it just shook the house and rattled every window.

The kids and I rushed outside to see it almost hovering. Huge is an understatement.

gggeeezzz....I hope you are all safe....stay safe all in the CFA and I hope elvis is looking after you all also...and all the volunteers who have helped out.........our prayers are with you

We get a grandstand seat from our house. It was unreal on Ash Wednesday to see those two huge Canadian aerial bombers fly over our house and dump water on the flames. What I cant understand is why we are going to spend $15billion on high tech submarines and SFA- relatively- on an actual threat.
We need 10 of these planes on standby every summer:mad:

Bunningyong is near Ballaarat, quite a distance from Belgrave. (somewhere around 140km)

Cheers Mick.
