Re: [AussieFeltmakers] the fires,

We are still in the line of fire so to speak Barb. Not like up at Kinglake, but we have a fire bug running around here in the hills. On Sunday we had someone light a fire along the railway line in Upper FTG. It burnt up the line and out some all the way to Belgrave. Burwood highway was blocked off most of the day because of it.
 
They got it under control, but it was potentially hazardous. I just dont get where these idiots get off. Our house was burnt out in the fires here in ash wednesday. So every summer we pack up our precious things and shunt them down to a storage unit. Its one less thing we need to worry about should the worst happen because we figure if the fires came this way again, the chances are this house would go again.
 
We werent here then and probably if we had known the fire history of the house we wouldnt have bought it, but here we are and till we go, then here we are.
 
hugs
Fern

Hi Fern, I guess it makes a change to Not be in the line of fire in the
Dandenongs? Having lived in FTG for many years when I was much younger,
I well remember the fear we had every year of bush fires, especially as
communication wasn't as good then.

It makes us all realise how fortunate we are in this trying time.

Keep your eyes sharp. Unfortunately there are still fire terrorists
around. It really does emphasize the need to look after each other
doesn't it?

Warm regards, Barb Mewburn
