The Bushfire still burns!!!
Oct 2, 2007 | 10:49 PM PST
Keep thinking that the fire has been contained but the skies are still a-buzz with the sounds of crop-duster planes carting water to be dumped on the blazes. The surf lifesaving rescue helicopter has joined them now. This is now day three, with not much sleep for the volunteers that fight these fires. The sky was bright red last night. Hope there have not been too many nesting birds affected it is the middle of the breeding season. There are some eucalypts in flower now & if too many of them burn it will affect the honeyeaters & possums. The roll-on affect of these type of events are many. Hope it will improve tomorrow at the moment it just keeps travelling. Rain would help but the temps are in the 30sC (90+F). Fingers crossed. It has been determined that the fires are the result of arson. Thought so.

Hard to believe there are people that purposely start fires. Stay safe. Linda B from SC |
