mirawee Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 The fire, which is believed to have been deliberately lit, has burnt through approximately 250ha. :D Since it started in the middle of a National Park where there is no access to powerlines or anything else to produce sparks and you are not allowed to light fires for camping purposes it is a pretty good assumption that it is a deliberately lit fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 ETA: I hope no DOLers are near the big fire in Swan View/Jane Brook This is way too early in the year to start getting worried by fires! 130ha of John Forrest National Park has burnt and it is now heading towards houses. Poor wildlife in the Park I saw a load of smoke in the distance - not good Yesterday I had a really bad reaction to antibiotics and had to be rushed home from work and today I am still feeling groggy. :D So I haven't been keeping up with the WA thread. eek, hope you feel better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 The other thing that just occurred to me is that this fire is in an area that undergoes regular controlled burns and in fact would have been done in the last 2 years! (Was originally sure it was within the last year but now I am doubting myself :lol:) So the fuel load should not be that high yet it is still difficult to control Although maybe that is why it seems to be moving reasonably slowly.

ozjen Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have heard it is toodyay road but not sure exactly what part. :SHope your dogs will be ok It is near Red Hill (Pechey Road and Taaffe Road are the ones who have been told to evacuate)... so the National Park area there. Firies were getting set up when we drove past our way to work this morning :D https://internet.fesa.wa.gov.au/alerts/Page...spx?ItemId=1096 vCBR, bugger about reacting to anitbiotics Hope you feel better soon.

ozjen Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Between the thieving rotty from nextdoor (who comes over, steals toys and shoes then sneaks home) and the basement that balls roll into never to be found again I loose so many toys. Yesterday I had a really bad reaction to antibiotics and had to be rushed home from work and today I am still feeling groggy. :D So I haven't been keeping up with the WA thread. valley CBR hope your feeling better soon.

ozjen Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 My first thought whenever I see smoke in the general direction of home is sh..t, did I leave the iron on or something on the stove. Once was out shopping and had been for a while when I remembered that I had put some chick peas on the stove to cook, left my shopping trolley in the middle of the shop and bolted for home. Got myself really upset as was conviced that the dogs were going to burn up becaused of me be absentminded. Luckily just a smelly, smoky house and a ruined pot, but took me a while to settle down and go back for the shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncarter Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) does anyone know if there is a clipperworld in perth? And also is there somewhere is perth you can buy grooming tables? I actually found what i wanted at bunnings but the only problem is the height, its not tall enough. Edited November 3, 2010 by ncarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Where is that in relation to you Mirrawee? If you need any assistance let us know. Long way from us and heading in the wrong direction. I just have to drive past it to get home. does anyone know if there is a clipperworld in perth?And also is there somewhere is perth you can buy grooming tables? I actually found what i wanted at bunnings but the only problem is the height, its not tall enough. I don't think there is a Clipperworld in Perth but there are plenty of other clipper places or places to send blades for sharpening. We bought our grooming table from the dog shop at the Dogswest grounds. They have lots of different heights and sizes although I can't find them listed on their website. http://members.iinet.net.au/~wasps/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 After looking in the rare colours thread I might have a change of breed ;) I am in love with the red long haired GSD on there Pity it can't be a show dog Tiggy, I love all the Bear photos As for the toys, I hope someone down river manages to get it out It is littering and most lively ends up in the ocean to the detriment of our marine animals (a pet peeve of mine ) Once accidently might be unavoidable but repeated lost toys is a bit wrong When a friend and I used to go play with our dogs in the Swan River I made sure I was wearing clothes that I could jump in and retrieve the toys when the dogs decided they couldn't ETA: I hope no DOLers are near the big fire in Swan View/Jane Brook This is way too early in the year to start getting worried by fires! 130ha of John Forrest National Park has burnt and it is now heading towards houses. Poor wildlife in the Park Yes I also worry about the pollution which is why I no longer take toys to river, we only take toys to the beach of one of us is in bathers. The fire looks bad from Ellenbrook, I can see a lot of smoke etc and at hubbys work in Forrestfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Fire is nearest to emery and Roxi'n'Hemi so fingers crossed for them. It looks pretty damn awful. I am glad I am home cause I would be stressing if I had been at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor you Valley, I HATE reactions to antibiotics, I am allergic to a whole group of them and when I took them and had a reaction i almost landed in hospital and only felt right about a month after - so take it easy and dont exert yourself in the next couple of weeks I am not going to be on DOL so much these days as my course material came, so I am going to be quite busy as its a lot of practical photography work.

That was my thoughts too... but when you look at the vic bushfires and how quickly it spreads, it still makes you worry... Fires are just so darn unpredictable... it is miles away really, took a pic and will post on FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
