KI fire must have been huge to give off the much smoke. It came all around and surrounded Gawler and could see it even in the hills east of Gawler. I tohught there must have been a big fire around Gawler somehwere....
Yeah our fire phone was ringing non stop for a few hours, i think my mobile phone almost melted.
In comparison KI is only a few thousand hectares, where as Ngarkat is around the 60,000 hectare mark... Imagine if the wind blew that smoke our way...
I was told that it reached up to the Riverland and they had phones going all day.
latest i heard
KI = 2,800Ha (edit)
Nargkat = 80,000Ha

Got a page around 11am saying KI = 2,800ha and still going
Yer i was just about to edit that... my '2' dropped off :-P
would have loved to go on one of the regional strike teams to KI or the jobs at lameroo or robertstown..
Even though i was probably one of the first volunteers to call Region 5 after they put out a request for the South East Strike Team to KI for the fires there i some how missed out on being selected so you arent the only one to have missed out Mack :cry: :-( :-)
had to work unfortunately... pays the bills i guess.
Very smoke logged here in naracoorte from the Victoian fire's I would not be surprised if they ask for help soon mind you we have been over the border alot to edenhope to help them...
dont thin CFS would be willing to release any strike teams to go interstate at this point in time... not with KI, Ngarkat and severe weather expected etc...
Did we end up sending anyone to the Grampians?? Heard on the ever reliable grapevine that we had..... :-D
As far as i know NO but that may change,a page went out friday for group's in region 5 to think about what appliances could go over if needed not sure what they have selected..
negative to that...
as far as i know, no CFS resources have left the state.
Last I Heard They Are Getting Resources From NSW & Tas.
I think that is CFS uniform.

My bad :oops:
American River is definately a brigade from K.I
Looks like a photo off the promotions site.
Got it from an online photogallery from "The Age" They were showing pics of the Victorian fires.
Well, that pic was DEF. not from the victoria fires !
Was gonna say you wouldnt think American River would be in Vic with problems of their own at home.
American River (http://www.fire-brigade.asn.au/Station_Display.asp?Service_Code=SACFS&Station_Code=AMER) Is In KI.

That photo is DEF from KI, Dudley conservation park is about 15km from penneshaw.
fire_rescue96 is on the money - Dudley Cons. Park is the fire on KI.. funnily enough, on the dudley peninsula.
I think we ascertained(sp) that it was A/River from KI half way up the page..
