Ok this must be becoming a joke by now?? Anyone else noticed the amount of times they have been turned out here??

You'd begin to wonder if there is anything there left the burn!!!

Theres a large roundabout there, also where it crosses the Northern Expressway. All the median strips are full of mulch from what i could see the other day when i passed through that way.

From my count, since 1pm Tuesday, this would be the 6th time Virginia have been sent here. I wonder why it keeps igniting...

Edit: make that 7 now.

Middle of January and TFB tommorow in MLR... when is enough enough? Surely we are just burning off for the sake of seeing flames by now. All meaningful fuel reduction should be well and truly completed.

Middle of January and TFB tommorow in MLR... when is enough enough? Surely we are just burning off for the sake of seeing flames by now. All meaningful fuel reduction should be well and truly completed.

with 6-8 weeks of fire weather still likely, then its not out of the ordinary to do some defensive fuel reduction particularly around important assets or in particularly dangerous areas if you havent managed to get it done so far. God knows in their (and our) area theres so much to be done and only a few real days to get it finished

Having said that, given the forecast for tomorrow,the SEVERE category rating and TFB I'm not sure its prudent to be doing this tonight with 30-40/gusting 50 kph winds forecast in the morning. Great scope to filtered it up and look like a prat in the paper. The Burnside boys aren't yokels who do this twice a year, so I guess this will be fine.....just higher risk I guess

I guess any Strike Team calls will be paid in Milky Bars :)

No doubt about the fact that they are a brigade that is very experienced with fuel reduction burns. My main concern is time of year, predicted weather etc.

I also feel that the community would be getting very mixed messages.... The CFS [state] and medcia are bashing the fact that its a TFB, prepare your Bushfire Action Plan, etc and yet their local brigade goes out and lights up a paddock for training?

Only my two cents anyway. Im sure all will work out to be fine.

It seemed to drop off for a few days but now they seem to have come back

At least MFS are being responded to them because it seems Virginia want nothing to do with them unless they are a "proper" job.  I know we are a vollie organisation but if its in your area you should still be dealing with these calls and if you cant then maybe its time to give it up?

Ummm...what are you basing that on?? The amount of stop calls that are issued? This is because MFS get there, and determine there is no need for extra trucks.

I base that on listening to virginia duty officer talking to mfs appliances saying we will not be attending this job unless you want to upgrade the job and this is before anyone arrives on scene, and multiple times at that.

Time to get the Burnside 'in season' burnoff experts in to take out this patch of grass so there's nothing left for the culprit to light up.
