No mate - I'm kind of on the junction of the inner west and the north shore, about 10k from town - mind you, if the Lane Cove National Park goes up, you'll hear some bleating!
Porko, its Menai. and thats where i live! the Alfo's fires are raging and there are ones across the river from where i am and there is a voluntary evacuation there. only 8 peeps in my class turned up tday.
Bah! An hour and a half after I post a fire starts up in the Field of Mars reserve, about four kilometres up the friggin' road - just spent of the evening cleaning the gutters, sweeping the roof and wetting everything down.
There's probably no threat, but no point taking chances - embers fly a long way.
1 arsonist has already been caught, something about being intellectually challenged. But the most common cause is just the sun heats everything up and it just takes one little spark, from what? I wouldnt know. But the embers can fly a long way and if they get on your roof and set the leaves in your gutter on fire, you're history.
