Because our house didn't burn down. Bushfire came up behind and through the back of our block, when we left the RFS were taking a truck down next doors driveway. This was what it looked like down the back this morning. Attachments:

Where are you mate? So many fires happening around and I am in Casino area.We only just had the Rappville and Drake/Tabulam fires. So much smoke around and if a fire started close to me I wouldn't know,and all the firies are busy so we would be on our own.Not much bush very close to us (well a bit about 50 yards off the house) but the worry is embers,I could keep the grass fire back but if embers get to the house we are stuffed. Never seen anything like this season.
Good to see your home is safe and you as well.

There aren't any other fires in the area so the RFS was able to hit this one hard. It's still going but under control and not much wind today so fingers crossed.

Glad to hear it. We've been having a lot of fires here in California as well. Luckily any that have been started locally to me, naturally or otherwise, have been taken care of. Stay safe, amigo.
