Kevin Burne from Yellow Rock has lost 2 vehicles in the fire which started at Springwood. It took 18 minutes after some power lines came down at Springwood to go through his street. Only 4 houses have been left standing. Kevin's neighbour called him and Kevin and Glen managed to save his house. One part was affected but they managed to contain it. Many of you would know Kevin's GMC which went on Back To The Track and has been at Corowa a few times. He also lost a Chev Truck. His two jeeps were singed and at the moment he doesn't know whether two of his other vehicles in a shed have been damaged as he cant do too much until the insurance assessors have been to visit.
Kevin went through the 2001 fires which also threatened his Yellow Rock property and in 2007 fires in the Mudgee area went through a property he owns.

A dry storm went through here yesterday afternoon and started quite a few fires. The valley is full of smoke. fortunately most of the fires are small but two are running out of control in rough country.

The fire at Dog Rock Rd near Rockley is in Matts area, and being pine forest, stay safe. Hope to catchup at the Steam Fair.

The Minnimbah fire has burnt a lot of pine forest and at least one of the houses destroyed was occupied. It is now behind containment lines but expected to burn at least till the end of the week. The fire in the pine behind My boss Betty's is effectively out but still patrolled. The Minjary fire has claimed a lot of sheep but most cattle seam to have busted out and survived. The Sturgess fire between Batlow and Blowering dam hopefully is contained but I haven't herd much about it.

Just to give some perspective, It was reported last week that there were over 200 fires burning in Australia, caused by lightning.
