Earthquake next?

Homes under threat from fires in NSW February 1, 2011 - 5:04PM

Homes were under threat in NSW after several fires broke out in northwest Sydney, fanned by extreme temperatures and dry westerly winds.

Firefighters were monitoring several rural properties on Sackville Road at rural Ebeneza, in the Hawkesbury area.

More than 30 tankers were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon helping to protect the properties after the situation escalated, the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) said.

"We are concentrating our efforts on that fire now, both air-cranes are working in the air," a spokesman said.

Another blaze was contained at Pitt Town Road at Marayly, in Sydney's northwest, and no residences were damaged.

Firefighters were also working on another fire at North Ryde, said NSW Fire Rescue spokesman Ian Krimmer.

"We have called for an additional two units but the position is in hand," Mr Krimmer said.

A total fire ban was in place on Tuesday in many parts of NSW including Sydney, the Hunter, the Illawarra and the Blue Mountains.

Thats how it always happens, in Gladysdale they would do yearly burns and yearly people would be evacuated because it would get out of hand.

Haha, never read that before, but ain't it the truth.unkrock:

Yea! Bush poetry at it's finest.

But it's still Bob Browns fault for not taking those nasty mining companies to court 20 years ago, I also blame Penny Wong and Peter Garret just for being Penny Wong and Peter Garret, are they still around maybe Bob could slide under the same rock they appear to have gone to.

Garret, Wong and Brown all under the same rock, what a pleasant thought. If this is a dream, please don't wake me!

specially if my 38 boggers are climbing over that particular rock ..........
