    So terrible - I was also in the area when the fires came through - just frightening!
    We can only hope your insurance is enough to offer some comfort and perhaps replace some of the vehicles.

    Very sorry to hear this - I have had a few anxious days, and feared I would lose my Series + shed (house a lot safer), but the RFS seems to have an effective control line along the far boundary of next door's place, and the weather is a lot better. But it is still listed as "being controlled

    Still, just spent the morning to now widening the bare earth break round the house! And while I have unloaded the County, the bailout suitcases are still packed.

    My thoughts, as above but do you not think you were pushing your luck living where you are ie. Join DateNov 2008Location
    Black Mountain, Eastern Vic????? I know, I know, no need to say it.



    We look at TV footage & really do wonder how one lives through & copes with that sort of experience & hope we never have to find out first hand.

    Best wishes anyway.

    Yes, I knew the risks and accept them. Also lived in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melb most of my life and lived with fire all that time. There are people living there now who have no idea what can happen.
    I was prepared and had it controlled but it only takes 1 ember.
    People live with the threat of cyclones, floods, earthquakes etc. you can't hide from life.
    Cheers,
    Terry

    Terry, it was the irony of where you live. It wasn't named that for nothing.
