Not sure how big the others were.

It must have took a detour and travelled inland. It's been raining here all day and is bloody freezing. Still ****ing down now at 9:00pm with more of the same forecast for tomorrow.Quote:

And I can not believe the *****wits who drive up to look and block the roads, one drunk bloke was wrestled to the ground and was arrested. Then he was carrying on like a pork chop in the police car while they waited for a paddy wagon to come and get him. Then some other idiots raced through the police road block on their trail bikes.
The police road block is just out the front of his property which is handy for updates and also lucky we were there because the police woman was busting and needed to spend a penny.
Wonder if its the same tool that started the fire near Dwellingup? Out of control. Also another out of control one at Byford.
Andy just out of curiosity,,
Who sent you there?
Council? Local Fire Authority?
It seems to me you were put in harms way,, in a machine not fit for purpose.
Not uncommon for fires to start beside many roads during summer and most are probably from discarded fag butts.
These bastards know that they could start a fire but that doesn't stop them. I suspect many of us have sat behind cars at lights and seen butts come flying out the window onto the mulching councils put down on centre reservations.
It's so obviously deliberate and I've got my camera going all the time in an effort to catch someone doing this and I'll definitely go to court if necessary.
Glad you're OK Andrew.

Now watch some ****weak judge or magistrate give this arsehole a slap on the wrist and let him out in no time at all to do it all again.
Until we get a judiciary with some balls in this country, we will not see an end to this type of behaviour. :censored:
