Over 100 Fires Burning in My State

Think it's gonna be a bad one Snakey, 41 degrees here on the Central Coast today. They need to really throw the book at these little fuckers when they catch them. Summer hasn't even hit as you said , god help us this year, hope we can keep it under control but it's not looking good this early.

Respect out to the emergency services and in particular the guys who volounteer.

The drought doesnt help at all and at the moment its really windy here and the temperature would be around 35 and its only 10am. Its just dry heat, no moisture in the air what so ever. Just heard on the news that some houses have been threatened by this fire 50kms out.

Yeah mate, pissed me off when they lifted the restrictions to using hoses and shit on the garden and buckets for the car. just because the level rose a bit they think it's over.

Coming from Scotland we had no problem obviously with rain !! I do everything I can to conserve water, we use grey water and we installed bore water for the garden. I should be OK if there's a fire as I live on an island, at least we could just bale in there if it ever hit us.

I know where you are mate and its as dry as a nun, hope it doesn't come your way.

Ah, good old Australia... as if the fact that you have to share the land with spiders that eat birds and snakes with enough venom to kill 10,000 humans isn't enough, they throw bush fires in your face too. Lets face it, it's not like you need a fire either... what with the sun being only a quarter of a mile away from you.
And of course, you're escape route is the sea... which contains box jellyfish and great white sharks and other creatures that despise you.

Anyone that lives in Australia deserves a honorary medal of bravery in my opinion.

LOL I dont even have the luxury of running to the sea if the fire goes bad, im surrounded by scrub...so i guess I get to chill out with the taipans and brown snakes and funnel web spiders Andre you have fun with the great whites buddy, remember if one tries to bite you just shove a scuba tank in its mouth and then climb on a sinking boat and shoot the scuba tank as the shark comes at you with its mouth wide open

Be safe my friend and I hope with all my heart that these fires will stop or be contained quite soon *cross fingers*.

Jesus we are sitting in rain so strong down here in Melbourne Im filling my spa and all my tanks in about 3 hours!

LAst week we had fires

The stupid assed lands department had a burn off scheduled in on the end of our peninsula on crown lands; beach both sides no worries no houses out there.Could have done it any time . Should have done it yesterday just before rains....
Anyway last week it reaches about 36 on the schelduled day with strong northly winds and high temps due for the whole week : so the fools do it anyway. It gets out of control of course and burns for over a week so we're all walking around coughing and shit cause we gave smoking.

Fukkin bulshit the fools that run this place are like the three stooges honestly our goverment and all its workers will get taken over one day by another country they are all so dumb they'll all be asleep at home on a Sunday morning when we are attacked and wont give a fuk.
