    Good on you and the rest of your team for going down there to help Treads.

    You and all the rest (both locals and from further afield) who have given up your own time and risked your own lives to help out make the rest of us so bloody proud, and lucky, to be able to say that we're Australian.
    Cheers .........

    BMKAL

    Well done Treads

    Another TFB here today and 5 new fires have started, your fire is still "going" and only getting bigger.

    The Yea-Murrundindi East complex fire is only approx 30k from home now

    I know you asked Treads but i thought i could help out. Peat fires can burn underground for very long times, weeks even months or more. You woulld need unreasonably high amounts of rain to put out a peat fire, and they will flare up and start full bush fires. Thats why in some areas when you are camping all cooking has to be done on stoves, no fires on the ground. They are very similar to coal fires because they are one of the first stages of coal production with much more water, and lesser carbon content than coal.

    Treads Guest
    Thanks everyone for their support

    Heading back down again on Sunday as a crew leader for Strike Team 12 Foxtrot. It shall be interesting to see where they have us deployed by then. Tomorrow is looking like another bad day

    My thoughts are with the guys and girls on the ground there now.
