Title: rain
Post by: rescue5271 on February 04, 2005, 05:43:05 AM: yep we have had 27mm of rain strong winds and fixed alarm calls so it must be winter. But the heat will be back next week and will not take long for the grass and scrub to dry off again.

Hope they were in B.A :P :P

I agree Bill, unfortunately i believe this will give the general public a complacent feeling about the Fire Season.....and that will possibly lead to a state of un-prepardeness if there is a Large fire.

I think late Feb, early to mid March we will see what is normally typical in the Jan - Feb months..
