My brigade is currently deployed to the East Kilmore-Murrindindi Complex fire - pretty much just patrolling near the edges, trying to clear what we can, and hoping we can contain it.

I guess you can’t let it burn itself out. Nature needs fires.

Yesterday was the first day we could smell the fires and we are almost 600kms west of the fires. The smoke particles in the air are changing the color of the sunset. So far we have been very lucky in SA where we normally have many fires, even in the best years.
