Just put this somewhere else.
CFA. Country Fire Authority, a volunteer fire brigade (mainly, there are some full time workers) who put out some of the biggest fires in the State, in all States but operate under different names.
Temperatures have been in the high 30'sC, today is a lot cooler but no rain forecast until Wednesday.
Bit too close for comfort, about 10km from Bunyip State Forest with the wind blowing thw wrong way, embers can travel that distance.
CFA convoys cruising down the highways from all over the state to take over from those who are badly in need of a break, Princes Freeway closed down between two towns.
Several homes lost but no loss of life due to the quick actions of the CFA, thousands of hectares of forest destroyed, still not under control despite fire bombing.
Smoke is really thick and despite being inside I am coughing like buggery so might head off somewhere for the day so I can breath again.
CFA, hundreds of volunteers who ask nothing in return, rattle their tins at intersections a few times a year, think I may chuck in a couple of hundred this year instead of the loose change that is all they ever ask for.
