[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 89909, member: 4085"] To us, in Australia, Bushfire is a way of life. Every state has a Rural Fire Service staffed by a small permanent crew and a vast number (over 70,000) of volunteers. Marg and I live in the Sydney region so this is page we have bookmarked: [url]http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/[/url] It has a large number of documents all with bits of advice on what to do and how to manage. We've grown up learning all this information and it is (mostly) second nature to us now, but our new-chum mates are often a bit overwhelmed. Check out the info on this site, especially if you are in a fire prone area, doubele especially if you are in an area that has planted a lot of eucalyptus trees; as I understand they have done in California. I hope that I am wrong about that - the thought of a firestorm driven by the Santa Ana winds is terrifying even 12000 kilometres (about 7500 miles) away. It's too late to be doing anything now but you can always get ready for the future. stay safe as possible, Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
