Once again we see how CFS is stuck between a rock and hard place...there was MUCH criticism over not enough warning being given to residents on Lower EP during Black Tuesday and now they are being slammed for too much...

Perhaps those residents haven't caught up with the slogan of GOING EARLY and not leaving at the last minute to get caught in their cars...

The most important factor that stands out after Black Tuesday is the LACK of preparedness by people in the community...

It can be very difficult to judge the speed of fires sometimes and that can change very quickly...maybe they should be thankful that they now understand the warnings...
