Bush Fires-narre North & Surrounding Areas

[quiksta]

I was kicking back at home around 3ish when i got thick smell of smoke wafting through the house. Stepped outside only to see a shitload of smoke. I went for a drive 5 mins up the road and came across 'Elvis' filling up.

The amount of water that thing sucks up is unbelievable. I could literally see the water level drop every singe time.

Yeah there seems to be fires all around Narre.

There is a fire about a street away from one of my mates houses.

When i was coming back from chadston earlier i went past a spot with the remains of something that was burnt there and a guy in white sitting on the side of the road not looking real happy.

The flames are what you have to worry about and you will see them better now, my mum and nephews are in traralgon and apparently traralgon is surrounded by fires.

And the flying embers.... I lived in Macedon when the Ash Wednesday fires went through, and I've seen embers fall from the sky like rain, and the start even more fires!

Bushfire's are mad and crazy beast, don't ever treat them lightly!

Take care everyone near these fires!

Be safe everyone

Very sad and worrying 24 hours

My brothers mates parents are all in Yarram with a few losing their homes. The fire reached the edge of my g/f's parents Vineyard on the Hyland Hwy but turned on the edge of the property we are hearing. The access is still closed off so unconfirmed. Also unable to get hold of them for nearly 2 hours as the lines were all down and no mobile reception adding to the worry. One of his mate's mum works with the choppers in the area so was able to give updates from mid afternoon yesterday yet the Herald Sun didnt report it until nearly 10pm getting to Yarram. She had lived in the area all her life so every property is pretty much personally known making it even more devastating.

However, g/f's dad's friend who owns a huge hotel in Marysville lost it all yesterday. News reports are saying that only the bakery is left in Marysville.

Flew back in from Syd this morn after Top Gear and the scale of devastation and smoke is monumental.

Hope no one else has to go through this

They've just shown overhead views of Marysville in a news report on the ABC and it's virtually all gone. Kinglake is apparently much the same. Many, many burnt out cars are being found on the roads and this is where many dead might be found.

Very sad to see those people in Narre Warren interviewed. One minute they were watching TV, and the next their house and virtually everything else they own is gone.

50 degrees celcius temp and 70kmh winds really helped f**ke everything up yesterday bro

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

700 homes gone.
