Emmaville now in imminent danger.
RFS fire map is a horrible thing to look at.

Also, if you've portable BBQ's and gas bottles, take them and your perishables to the evac centre and cook up stuff for folks to eat, rather than see it go to waste.
Natural fibre clothing is a must considering embers etc.
And if you can, leave clear access into and out of your property when practical.
I used to live in Torrington and go to school in Emmaville until year 10. Torrington has pretty much been wiped out. It was a community scattered right in the middle of a huge tract of national parks and crown land. Emmaville itself should fare a little better but there are loads of homes round there nestled in bushland which would be at risk. A lot of my old school friends still have a lot of family in the area.There now appears to be some loss of homes with the Hillville fire and there are two fires near Gloucester and Nowendoc.

No good mate. Hope everyone is fine as can be under the circumstances. I feel for those who had to face that and for those who lost everything.I used to live in Torrington and go to school in Emmaville until year 10. Torrington has pretty much been wiped out.

Last night came and went and things got better, but as we have been told it is not over yet.... for anyone... Still have things ready if needed.
At the moment smoke has been driven away by a reported 37km south easterly breeze unfortunately not helping the firies. Seems stronger here though.
Roads are open, except for one or two, not like yesterday but still some places here are not open for business due to uncertainty.
I hope it stays well away from your home and community Dogluva.
Just heard from my sister at Taree. The fires went through the farm she lives on. They'd evacuated so they were safe. But they lost their shed which had her hubbies Harley and a friend's restored Falcon as well as all their tools. Some of the fences on the property were burnt too. But they managed to keep the house safe. They had a big pump running dousing the house overnight. They also have some cows which she's said look a bit singed but thankfully are still alive and kicking.
These are the photos she took before and during the fire.View attachment 11967 View attachment 11968
Brilliant to have the house doused in water..I’ve always been a believer in this!!I hope it stays well away from your home and community Dogluva.

It's was orange on Tuesday but normal since. The haze has gone St Vincent's have lifted house arrest for me lolAll is good at the moment.
Fires are still active and have played havoc with transport and school. Daughter has not been to school for the last three days as minimal staff and road closures. She gets stuck out there and we won't see her until access available. Just so over the smoke and the uncertainty and it is not even summer. Had to report flames the other day in an area that has already been through the wringer. As is the case with the fires they smoulder on for days but at least the public know to report anything untoward when there is no engine around. Firies here have been checking in daily with areas that have been hardest hit for re ignitions. They are a special bunch of people, heroes in my eyes.
Thank you for your thoughts they are appreciated.
Did you get the blood red moon last night? We have had it now since last Thursday really freaky!
The smoke here today is absolutely abominable and it makes a foggy day in London look tame by comparison. Sun trying really hard to break through and it is hot. Some of the fires have reared up again and daughter has not been to school since Monday as roads cut on and off. I feel for the guy who is GA at our school as his house is under threat from the fires and he doesn't know if and when he can get back or whether or not his house is still standing.It's was orange on Tuesday but normal since.
