I more or less panicked when I heard Ivanhoe because I have friends there but when I thought about it later, I thought the same...way too close for comfort! Poor bugger, I hate sunburn:thumbdown: You're a rude, rude girl and I'm afraid I can't speak to you anymore Of course it's not rude *slaps* I can't understand people who continue to burn in their backyards! As for where's your alcoholic slushy......COME AND GET IT Edit: Hey HK....I'm sure you're here somewhere Edit 2: How hot was Orlando looking on the telethon?

Hello all! Our friends are all present and accounted for:thumb_yello: but they said the smoke was awful. I can believe that because it was really strong where we are. This Release went out following the Ivanhoe fire: News Releases Fires a Risk to Metropolitan Areas back to list 12 Feb 2009 The Metropolitan Fire Brigade this afternoon responded to a large grass fire, burning in Banksia Park beside the Yarra River in Ivanhoe East. Twelve fire appliances and over 40 firefighters attended. Fire efforts were hampered by a strong south easterly wind blowing at up to 30km per hour. This outbreak follows a warning from MFB and CFA fire chiefs this morning, that all residents across metropolitan areas should not be complacent, and that the fire risk remains extremely high. “The heatwave in late January left gardens and local parklands exceptionally dry, so the threat of bushfires extending into metropolitan areas is very real,” said Tony Murphy, Chief Fire Officer MFB. “People in metropolitan areas need to understand they’re not immune from bushfires. They too need to prepare their property and have a fire plan. Fires don’t discriminate; last Saturday’s tragic events have proven that. “While we are still busy battling these fires, it is important residents in metropolitan areas do their best to prepare their homes and businesses for fires. “The weather is expected to heat up again early to mid next week, so we need all Victorians to co-operate and be as well prepared and informed as possible. Being prepared could save your life.” For fire safety information: Visit www.mfb.vic.gov.au (look under 'summer fire safety campaign') or www.cfa.vic.gov.au Call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667 What to do The MFB and CFA are advising the public: If you choose to stay, be prepared and have a fire plan or if you choose to leave, leave well before any immediate threat. Listen for weather updates and fire news on ABC 774 radio Road travel is extremely dangerous during fires, and it blocks roads preventing access for emergency services. If you decide to leave, leave early Practise a fire escape plan Ensure all rubbish stored outside is disposed of properly and not left to accumulate Do not store raw materials, combustibles and stock close to dry scrub and park land Keep lawns cut and remove leaves from gutters Remove any overhanging branches and overgrown vegetation Keep timber and rubbish away from fences, particularly where the fence borders any bush or park land Have garden hoses connected to taps and ensure the hoses can reach all parts of your property With the potential for fires to continue running for days and weeks to come, all Victorians need to remain vigilant.

The CFA have just put up a few of the fire maps. This is just one of the fires burning http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/incidents/images/news_image/Yea-Murrindindi-KinglakeComplex_MediaMap_20090212_0700_a3_21417.pdf S**t! Rosina was right. Sky News just had a breaking report. There is a fire in Melbourne and it's not far from us. Yarra Bend park in Ivanhoe has gone up in flames. 50 firies and a water bomber is on the way and they think homes could be lost! The poor buggers! We've had smoke in our street for a couple of hours but we just assumed it was coming down from Whittlesea. I'm going to head off and watch the news and make some phone calls! I hope Blue Sky's family are ok!

It is cooler today. Unfortunately the weather is supposed to heat up from tomorrow with northerly winds! We haven't had any rain where we live but they got between 5 and 15mm in a couple of the fire areas which is great!

The stimulus package has just been blocked in the upper house and has been sent back down to the lower house for another vote. If it goes back to the upper house and is blocked again, we could end up with a double disillusion situation. They think they have stopped the fires from merging! I've had a quick look but can't find anything about fires in Kelmscott This is the link for the Fire & Emergency Services of Western Australia if you want to keep an eye on it. http://www.fesa.wa.gov.au/

The two men arrested this morning have been cleared of any wrong doing and the wind has picked up in the Whittlesea fires. Hey HK

Good morning all! Latest from Sky News earlier this morning but there have been no further updates since. CFA are hoping to begin back burning today between Maroondah / Yarra and Bunyip fires in an attempt to prevent them merging. Two men have been arrested on arson charges in Taggerty...behaving suspiciously between Yea and Seymour but they have not confirmed this as yet. They now believe that the Marysville was probably arson as well as Gippsland. CFA have advised that if the humidity levels are too low during the coming hotter weather, it will have an detrimental impact on fire fighting efforts.

OMG Sky News just announced new warnings! They're now saying that the Maroondah/Yarra and Bunyip fires could merge into a super-inferno despite the cooler conditions. That's in addition to the other one they thought might have merged...the one Kelzy posted about earlier...I think they said Yea There's nothing new on the CFA website though. I'm going to go and watch a bit more closely....night HK I will pray for more rain:wub2:

Ok! I'll have two...but only for you:naughty: Nighty nighty

Yeah! They should trust us Our wildlife is harmless.

*sends you back under the bed with a shoe*

Wel, I certainly hope you will be taking her up on that offer....hhhmmmmmm ....and the snakes, sting rays, sharks, jelly fish and most importantly the drop bears:naughty:....none of which will hurt you

Excellent news! It's never too early for wine! I say you swap places with your assistant and we can share you around

You are ok though? Surely someone can pick up the slack for one week. You certainly better find out young lady. It's more important than ever to make sure you take it easy and completely get over your cold now. "chookahs" toots

Right now....looters and phoney fund raisers

Sometimes it just can't be helped. I'm sure you work hard, so when you're sick it should be all about you. I used to feel guilty when I had time off but I don't anymore

I didn't know you had a cold....you take care of yourself missy:wub2: How about a hot toddy instead oh, and I sturked you into the naughty corner
