Man, I admire and thank all you firies and volunteer firies out there (includes SES volunteers) - it is a seriously hard job in these dry and hot times :(

Well done on all your efforts to keep the rest of us safe, and may the people who play with matches get what's coming to them! :mad:

Good luck over the next few days - looks like it is going to be very hot and dry...

Hi there Bushie

After a few weeks of extreme temperatures, we have all ours fires in SA under-control (shouldnt speak to loud just yet).

BUT - the past 24 hours has been a freek of nature, with huge rain in most areas of SA - For us in the Flinders Rangers we have had over 55mm in 20 hrs

Its been a good wake up call for some home owners - please we all need to do our part (clean up around you houses if you live in rural areas - as we are unabe to protect everyone).

But we need to stress theres a long way to go yet in the Fire Danger Seasons.

All the best

Thats why we chose to make our place a black spot. Told the local guys flatly that if the fires comming we have already writen the place off. I will help save the neighbours places and forget my place exists.
