I lived in the flats below the fire back then. Clearly remember seeing this when it originally aired.

Next the fire and the fire department would be at your door to evacuate. They hit so fast and sometimes with no rhyme or reason. |

Next the fire and the fire department would be at your door to evacuate. They hit so fast and sometimes with no rhyme or reason. topography? you get fires in the hills/mountains - making their own weather? down here, the big fires follow a pattern. burn for days driven by north wind, a long thin fire with a narrow front heading south. then we get a cool change at some point that breaks the weather. usually a violent wind storm without rain from the west. long thin fire turns its side into a wide front monster, travelling faster than you can drive. they make their own weather at that point. the authorities get everyone out these days, 24 hours in advance, anyone who will be facing a monster when it turns east. i got sent this photo by a police mate who was in mallacoota a couple of years ago when the big fires were burning. photo is around 9.00 am in the morning - may as well be night. fire hit an hour and half later. town's population was down at the beach or out on the water. |
