Keep your wits about it and stay clear and safe.

Good luck

Fires can spread alarmingly fast. Start packing your essentials, planning your escape routes and making arrangements for places to stay if you need to evacuate quickly if you haven't already done so. Be safe and we will hope for the best for you.

While I have not been able to find a good footprint of the fire it appears that it's general location along with the current wind direction may be favorable to you. That said, please be careful grabbing those pics...things can change rapidly!

That is scary. I live in an area here where the same thing is possible. More so for me as I am an Aviation Radio Operator with the local Rural Fire Service. Fortunately I am now retired and will be able to be more available as I won't have to organise time off work as my job is voluntary.

Stay sharp and safe!
