The dogs are freaked out and trembling. Hope things don't pan out as bad as expected around the state and the fires stay under control. Stay safe everyone.
How far away are any of the fires Rosy?
I certainly hope everyone is safe. Kudos to the brave firefighters and volunteers. They do a bloody magnificent job in life threatening and extreme circumstances. :clap
Thankfully we don't have any issues regarding bushfires.

I'm not sure of the penalties usually handed down to to these scumbags, but they should be charged with attempted murder at the least if they've been proven to have deliberately lit fires. Start setting an example.
