This is the way they saw it it has moved much closer to the freeway and Marks house with 2 helecopters bombing it continually at 4:00pm as i saw on my way home the long was as Watty and Clothiers were closed and i came back around via Kanes Road the smoke is more wide spread though less intense. From the map Jims was close if not very close to being threatened
today / last night. The wind is still just as strong as
yesterday . More crews are battling the blaze etc but information is still just as hard to come by. Maybe “they” think no news is good news although isn’t it better to not let false rumours spread….
There is an information meeting at the Caba Bowls club this afternoon, might go and get up to allowed speed…
Update:
Just came back from bogangar meeting, lecture and not much to report except that they feel it is containd and will be a mop up for about 3-4 days and Clothiers Creek Road will continue to be closed often. Also rode up to Jims through the Smoke to see that the fire front had not long ago arrived to start circling his place, it had been traveling at snails pace down towards him for the last 24 hours… so he should be safe now from any wind shifts etc the fire units are watching the slow progress but see no need to attack the very, very slow moving downhill front
