The Dunn's road fire that is in our area was started by lightning hitting a pine block that has been thinned so plenty of branch litter to get it going. Then the wind blew it over containment lines and it made a 40 Km run over night and has been spreading ever since. It has now burnt more than 130000 ha and I just heard it is heading our way tonight, hopefully it gets there before the next wind event.
