Thread: Leura Bushfires

got this off another board: AusSurvivalist Forum: What to do in a bush fire?

Here's a link that may be useful.

Sentinel Hotspots

It is Geoscience Australia's Satellite map of current hotspots/bushfires for all of Australia. To get to the map, click on the map of Australia on the first page that loads, on the second page tick the I agree box down the bottom of the page. Then the map with the hotspots will load. To zoom in on any area, draw a rectangle using your mouse and that area will load. Continue doing that to zoom in further. On the right of the map are layers that you can display.

I went out on my first outing for the season.
I got diverted to a smaller firethat had closed of a main road with smoke.
I finally came across a state forest workers without a degree that know how too use a drip torch.

the first time ever I driven to a fire at 1300,and was home for tea.

Over the last few weks we had callouts to babysit minor grass fires like in the old days.once upon a time the payed staff would have wanted these blacked outfor no good reason.,

Thanks for the links, just sent them off to a mate who is taking some time off to travel NW NSW,around the Texas area. Bob

I think the Leura Bushfire is currently mapped in the wrong location on the RFS website.

See attached.

Interesting - I just pulled this off the RFS public site.

Seems odd - This looks right:

No where near Simon's place.

Yep, looks like it has now been fixed.
