I do live in a district that is a known bush fire prone area and for me to leave home to go and help someone with their clean up must wait to when conditions have improved.
Until there has been some rain to take the danger out of leaving my and my elderly neighbours properties unattended, I must stay put.
There is no practical way of stopping a wall of flame unless the ground has been given a black edge first, but to be available to put out a spot fire that has been started from falling embers, before the wind picks up and carries the flame is most important.
The fire that concerns the community around here the most, is the Lake Repluse fire, as it is up on high ground and in timbered country, with the wind behind it, this fire has already spotted, lighting up over distances of 10 kilometres away from the main fire.
Those spot fires have been controlled and now are safe at the moment, the perimeter of largest fire that spotted at Meadowbank is being watched around the clock.
Stay safe people and do what you can.
