Victorian Fires
Hi Guys
I was actually down south with some of my Vehicles when the fire threatened my friends property, the fire got to within a kilometer of his house when the wind changed, one of the most frightening experiences of my life.
We sat on his verander and watched the fire roar along the next ridge line untill a wind change halted its progess towards the property.
To see 100+ foot tall trees explode in flames and send fire balls into the sky is really undescribable.
The truck driver with my Stuart and Bren carrier had to reverse his semi trailer 2.5 Kilometers up a highway when the flames crossed the road and he could not continue.
To all the fire fighters and volunteers they do an incredible job and there have been several that have lost there own property's while they are protecting others.
My thoughts and pray's are with everyone involved and especially those that have been so dreadfully effected by these fires
