(Preview)
Given that EV battery fires burn at between 2000C and 2500C can you imagine what may have happened if, instead of the cement truck just making it over the Westgate bridge, it caught fire halfway across it? and what about the traffic jam behind the truck, all those people stuck down wind from the fire una...

Hi all Nomads, Just thought I'd put it out there that we are moving on from Mount Barker and if any of you in WA are interested in a nice country property, message me.
