Tomorrow's fire danger is VERY HIGH. Burning is prohibited tomorrow, including small fires after 1800hrs (6:00pm).
This is a kind message, but what it also says to us is these people are very well prepared. They left early - early enough to leave a sign. These people get it. Plan ahead. 5 minute fire chat.
dfes.wa.gov.au/firechat/Check out this useful, but lovely, sign left for the firies in NSW! 🚒👏
Rachel, from northern NSW, left this note on a sign at the front of her evacuated property. Here's some of what it said:
• "Hello AMAZING firies!
• "5000 litres in concrete tank next to shed... maybe 2000 litres in house tanks below vege garden...
• "Back door to house is open. Help yourself to food/drinks in fridge...
• "THANK YOU - you guys rock our world!"
Firefighters recommend people erect signage that alerts them to whether you have a static water supply on your property, which might include a dam, creek, or swimming pool.

We hate sharing news like this. We hope our comrades on the east coast come out of this intact. So far in these fires there have been over 30 firefighter injuries, a reminder that what we do is dangerous, hard work.
Thinking of all the brave fire fighters who put their lives on the line. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to all those heroes who received injuries in the line of duty. Lets hope that conditions change for the better very soon. Its heart breaking to see the devastation.
Please stay safe and hope the fires weren't deliberately lit.
Please be aware that tomorrow's fire danger is SEVERE. A TOTAL FIRE BAN and harvest and vehicle movement ban is in place for tomorrow between 8am and 7pm.
If you have had a burn off in the last two weeks, please check on it throughout the day.
Gethin no harvesting tomorrow mate 😳
If you were planning on burning off over the next couple of days, please don't
Bushfire warnings issued as WA braces for scorching weekend
Fire authorities prepare for a challenging weekend as scorching temperatures and gusty winds create dangerous fire conditions in the southern half of WA.
A few photos from our members on deployment to the NSW fires (including their accommodation for the rest of the week). Good luck to all involved in this complex incident.
Quite a set up.!
