• Big ass bush fire near my house [images]
    77 replies, posted
Well when I got out of school at about 3:15pm today, I noticed a massive smoke cloud in the distance, looking south. As we got closer to home, which is about a 15 minute, we realize that fire is about 5 minutes from house, but in a different area seeing as we live on practically on the outskirts of the town. The fire has been raging for hours now, and is/ was out of control. The wind has been blowing from the south, so we have had embers, and a thickish smoke blanket cover the area. The fire was probably deliberately started, as most are in the area I live in, mostly because I live in bushy areas, with areas with quite thick swamp. Lately, there has water bombers flying over our house. As of now, I'm pretty sure the fire is under control. Here are some pictures... They are taken by me and I'm not a very good photographer.

Get out of there as fast as you can before it kills you.
That's scary :ohdear: Hope you're alright.
I took them pictures about 4:15pm today, and it's not 8:00. I'm pretty sure it's under control now.
