Keep safe people..... Much Poo in Sydneys West



3:25pm: The Rural Fire Service has confirmed one home is alight at Winmalee in the Blue Mountains.
The Premier, Barry O'Farrell, has just told NSW Parliament that two firefighters have also been injured fighting that blaze.

3:08pm: The fires are also causing power outages in surrounding areas.

Students at the University of Western Sydney's Hawkesbury campus have been sent home for the day.

Across the road from my place is the Yarramundi paddocks, so we're only about 3ks from the Castlereagh fire. We are expecting a SW change soon so that will make things a bit interesting here. Hopefully the wind will die down and give the firies a break. Never a dull moment.

Castlreagh Londondery fires are a worry...
Mates place in Berkshire park,, on the border of the Bligh park fire.. looks bad from his yard.. got the horse float hooked up ready... But the fire around Londondery is the worry,, as the wind is blowing in his direction...
Very worrying times...

If it gets near our place I'll be baiting it with bales of hay. If we lost everything we'd take the insurance payout and be off on the big lap.

Watching on news 24.

Seems to be rolling coverage.
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

Panic box, Snowcave and Martin guitar ready to go if needed.  ;D Thanks for the thought Wes.

We have a fair bit of open paddock between us and the wooded areas so defending the street would be fairly straight forward. The temp here is starting to drop and the breeze is backing off so hopefully we won't be threatened.

We have quite a few friends with place under threat so we are hoping they will be right.

From Quackers, jump on the Windsor Rd and then on to the Bells Line and you'll be fine.  :cheers:

You know I'm an insurance investigator, don't you???



Nah, boring old tradie unfortunately, but I reckon I would just use the money to build a bigdonkey shed and then hit the road..........
