funny that the spot fire surrounded a house a media crew were house sitting  lol

*not meant to be funny*...as i was doing asset protection there, just the wrong place to have things go wrong.

Not funny as the fire started spotting...appears spotting 250 - 300 metres from the main fire....

Very scary fire behaviour this early in the season....

There are three types of people in the world.  Those that watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what happened.

To true, add another 10Deg in temp and another 15-20kms of wind, its all the signs of a very ugly summer for the state.

We were there before the fire took off.....there was a sudden wind shift (and a Southerly at that) and within about 5 minutes it started crowning...

Photos will be on the Promo site today - www.fire-brigade.asn.au
