Fire's aftermath

The Yerrinbool fire was controlled last night by the fantastic efforts of the local bush fire brigades - their efforts ensured that the fire, which was within 5 meters of homes did not do any more damage than that to the bush.

This fire burnt out over 2 ha and caused interruptions to the main Southern train line (Sydney to Melbourne) as is was burning at the tracks. The fire started in catchment area for Sydney water.

The fire danger continues with the heat wave, but we have been very luck so far.
