[News] We can see this clearly from our house...

Fire threatens Swan Valley homes.






A few of the neighbours have come out to watch. It is oddly beautiful. There are, however, spot fires everywhere.

I hope everyone is safe.

Ick... it's that time of the year again .. blah! At least WA has great systems in place (compared to others >.> like VIC) to deal with fires, I haven't heard anything this morning, hope they have it under control soon. Stay safe :)

Yeah WA has excellent systems in place, it's a shame I couldn't get them on camera, but there were red and blue lights from the service vehicles flashing everywhere - and water bomber helicopters in the air.

They've lost a house overnight and the fire is still going, total fire ban in place, and it's gonna be windy - but I think they're feeling fairly confident.
