I'm hoping there is not too much damage and I haven't heard of any injuries - Chris hasn't had an ambulance call out.
Thank goodness for and thanks to all the people that volunteer and have been fighting it for the past few days.

Fire
There are so many good things about having a treechange, but there is one thing that isn't. The threat of fires. It has been hot today and a fire that started yesterday flared up. This is what it looked like out the back this afternoon. We watched it move the whole way around town. It seems to have died down a bit and moved away. I can't hear as many fire fighters or the water bombers but the car is packed and we have checked the gutters and have a plan just in case.

Fires are so scary. Southern California has fire season around October. Although I no longer live there I'm always aware because I have many friends and family that do. What is a treechange? Stay safe.

ReplyDeleteGosh - I am glad everything is ok at the moment and hope that it continues to be!! As you say, the fire-fighters and volunteers are amazing!

ReplyDeleteIt's a scary thought isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHow frightening for you. At least you are prepared. I dont like the smell of smoke as we had some from fires 2 years ago and it made everything smell so awful. I cannot imagine how yours must be. I hope the fires are put out soon and you are all safe.
ReplyDeleteI heard the bushfire warnings over Bunbury radio and immediately thought of you and your family. Thank God it subsided, it was so hot and windy yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI can smell the smoke this morning.
How scary. I'm so glad that you and your family are safe.
ReplyDeletei hope you are all ok...my son is in the firebrigade and has been very lucky so far, and i do hope all the resue workers over there are safe, as well as all the homes...it is a sad thing to lose everything in a fire...say safe...

ReplyDeleteI keep wondering if this year will be the year our area burns too... it has to happen eventually.
Glad you are prepared but I hope you don't have to put your plan into action!
Stay safe!!! All we can smell today is smoke from local fires. Sounds like you're prepared which is a good thing...xoxo
