It seems the Lower South East escaped the wrath of this bushfire weather relatively unscathed despite having very high winds around 16:30-17:00pm and it seems that Kalangadoo,Nangwarry & Mount McIntyre brigades are the only ones to have been to paged for a smoke sighting
These 2 response messages were sent at 17:33&17:37pm after the smoke
sighting was phoned in (note: these are off the paging site)
