G'day

Now I know not everyone on here is an aussie, in fact very few of us would be. Just a warning to my fellow aussie's with the situation tomorrow. Bushfires are raging around the country alot of them are in grasslands too meaning in 10minutes the fire can travel more than 10km. Have an evac plan and keep properties and animals safe.

Also be aware of the heat tomorrow reaching around mid 40's. This will intensify fires dramatically.


Keep a look on http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?CAT_ID=683 to know where the fires are in nsw or type rfs and your state to keep a look out. Good luck and i hope all works out.

Now over to xDeeKay, for sport.

All jokes aside =p It's been so hot, these times suck for fires.

lol exactly, i was in the volunteers once and i can say for sure it doesnt take much to spread easily....

Damn. The whole area is on fire.

holy crap thats like half of the continent 

I'm American, but this would be good for everyone.

Danm, you guys are hit pretty hard down there :/

thats just one state

I am so sorry about the fires. That sounds preetttty scary

Usually dirt pits can help stop fires, as usually they aren't fire producing, and mostly what I would do, is layer fresh dirt all around my house. But sorry to hear that fires are going on there.

For that to be effective, you would have to own a LOT of property.

yeah because of embers and what not, i was on duty from 10pm till 3am this morning and the fire is moving very quickly near us.

When I first saw this I thought if this:
