Title: High Fire Danger 9/12/06
Post by: Camo on December 09, 2006, 03:13:06 PM
Gday,

Well i dont know about up in the hills but down here in the South East it was a shocker.  Pretty much incident free though.

Only had 1 minor grass fire extinguished very quickly and the contiuation of the Bog Lane Fire, which at one point was posing some threat to a shack.

But luckily very little activity across the state which is good!


Just received the weather page for sunday and it will be alot cooler but high levels of lightning.

Dont be fooled by the cooler weather Camo cause the lightning is gonna be dry lightning which can still pose some problems even though its only gonna be 26 degrees

it was never really as bad as they planned for up here in the hills...

the wind never eventuated and so the FDIs stayed down a bit... i dont think they ever rose above 50 locally. :wink:

Which was ably put out by the guys/girls in a red truck. lol

Three volunteers from SES assisted SAFECOM manning the CFS Hotline phones. Processed approximately 70 calls for the day. It was a great day to learn the system after training on Friday.
