Looking at the footage nobody made no attempt to put a garden hose on the fire yet stood and recorded it on their phone .

And immediately rang Triple Zero. Smartest thing to do. Firies hate civilians getting involved as it just makes it more difficult for them.

Iza

With no one inside, why would you risk being near a potential explosion in some vain attempt to save some sh!t vans. No garden hose would have controlled that blaze anyway.

Would have an impact on the caravan next door and would have been more help than a mobile phone .

When the house next to us ignited at 1:30am many years ago, we were told to forget about the garden hose on the fire, just pour all of that on our roof and walls that were closest (just 8ft between houses). Keep our house cool & damp so it doesn't self combust. All the garden hose did was produce steam that did nothing. Scary night.

Love reporters geography. The press reported this fire at Brisbane. Then in the fine print it was at Kilcoy, 100kms away.
Last week there was an incident in Sydney. In the fine print is was Cessnock - 154kms away.
Snow regularly gets reported in Ballarat. Last fall was actually at Trentham - 67kms away. Rarely snows in Ballarat central.
