Some of the devastating fires are still burning in our state and even more have started up today.  This time even closer to Melbourne.  And this time very, very, very close to family.  Thankfully a change of wind just in time means the immediate threat has passed but it’s another reminder of how volatile so many areas of our state are at the moment.  Hopefully mild weather over the next couple of days will allow fire fighters to control the current fires before the more dangerous conditions which are forecast for Friday. We owe so much to all the wonderful emergency personnel, so many of whom are volunteers, who have worked tirelessly for weeks now to bring these fires under control – and who still have so much more work to do…….THANK-YOU!
