Close Call - grass fire.

At home

A change of arrangements for us today - a grass fire started 2 doors up from us
and quickly burnt up the hill to the back of our place.
12 fire appliances and 2 spotter planes quickly got into action. We had a good view of the flames flying
up the hill from our back balcony. A similar fire burnt our back fence back in the 1980's,
it was like a re-run, except this time Dick hadn't gone fishing for the week!
The trucks cut our fences and parts are burnt,
we'll all have some mending to do again!

That must've been very scary to see the fire so close to your wonderful trees. Luckily the damaged fence can be mended. Hope you get some rain soon.

Great job of photo journalism of the event. However, very scary to happen to you in real life. Thank goodness your fire emergency teams were quick to react. Thinking of what fire can do, you are very lucky that having to do some fence mending is the worst end result of this bush fire. And to think that you've also been through similar before. Wow.
