Thereās at least 20 fire outbreaks here at the moment. My thanks go out to the volunteer firefighters including our son . These guys have been on the ground now for 24 hrs .
Many people have been evacuated.
We were hoping and praying for rain but only had strong winds and very little rain . Plus expecting more gale force winds today . Scary stuff .

Happy to report that we have had some rain which has dampened the fire zones crews are in mopping up mode now . We have had the help of 57 fire units who have come from the surrounding towns and from Perth. All up in access of 300 personal. Although the fire is at the watch and mop stage itās not completely over as thereās smouldering debris everywhere.
Again I salute the volunteers involved.
