Bush Fires in Perth

Hi Gone Bush (WA), I have been watching a little of the ODI in Perth (Cricket) & saw the smoke in the background of the WACA....dreadful & the wind is not helping things at all. I hope your daughter & family are safe as for everyone in the danger areas. Remember, houses & some possessions are replaceable lives are not. Hope there are no lives lost. I am sure everyone's thoughts are with people affected in our disaster areas throughout Australia. Best wishes to all.

Hi GB; i certainly hope your daughter's house is unscathed, but i bet you and Mrs Bush are just glad that she and baby are away from it all.

After a year like last year, this year continues down hill; now while Victoria drowns, Perth burns (there are four areas with reported fires).

Good luck to you all.

Fingers crossed everything is ok.

I'm still hearing sirens from fire trucks even where I live, but that seem to be because some a-hole has lit a fire in the bush/wetland behind the Bunnings in Cannington

The water bombers have certainly been busy this afternoon.

I hope all is well re: your daughter and family, there are certainly testing times in Australia at the moment.

Cheers

Sincerely hope they are Ok Reckon the fires are worse than our floods and they were bad enough.

A lovely area around there when we were there in 2009.

Cheers

While were on the subject,

What websites are the best for tracking real time fire positions?

Ive been using hotspots for a while now - but im sure there are better sites around. This site doesnt seem to have kept up with the times - its a bit clunky.

Thanx in advance

Thanks everybody. I really appreciate your support. Scott & Lara, I think you must be special people, very kind.

Tomorrow will reveal the situation but we think that the fire may have passed by their house just down the valley.

cheers everyone, thank you.

Just back from my daughters place in Kelmscott hills spent the night protecting the house all ok now but can't go back in when we leave police road block

It was quite frightening at times I feel for those that lost their houses we saw a few go up and the explosions we heard were terrifying

I am going to rest now
Ps the firies did a great job what would we do without them
