The non structure jobs are not fires, car smashes, oil on road and other incidents

Look at how many false alarms are registered. Kids playing pranks maybe?? What a waste of the CFA's time!

Warehouses and the like have a tendency to go into alarm when it gets this hot. Windy in some parts too that cause alarms.

[Geez Louise]

It is a great site and being a volunteer is a great thing. Wish you well with that Jason

HeHe...Yes that is true. I am laughing because as I was reading your reply Russell, the alarm went off at work for that very reason...

The Dandy south one was opposite work. Nature strip went up with cigi but ......

Just got back from Carrum Downs and there is a big one there ....... closed the road Franksto-Dandy rd. Had to watch if for 5 minutes before I left though. Big flames across the road ..... I bet another cigi butt as it looks to have started again fro the nature strip.

Carrum Downs job was probably the biggest during the day. 4 Helicopters (including the Sky Crane).

There was another fire at Watsonia Railway Station which had a few trucks there. Wind didn't help, but cool change is a relief.
