Saunders Gorge under threat

Saunders Gorge under threat again Dave? They only just managed to get out of it last time and save the home and restaurant. But they did lose the old wooden wagon which was near their entrance - all that was left was the old steel tyres!

Hopefully they've got their fire plan well established and rehearsed this time.

Dave, as I said on FB, one of our appliances went from Roseworthy in the Light Group Strike team to Angaston. It was returning last night when we were called to a hayshed fire near Daveyston. I responded to the station to take our second appliance to it and luckily for me enough crew arrived to respond. As you know Dave these hay shed fires last for days sometimes and I value a good nights sleep these days so I let the younger ones handle it. They returned this morning at 8am. Then tonight one of appliances went back for a few hours on watch, on there way out to it they were diverted to a small grass fire on the Sturt Highway. Busy times ahead me thinks!

Stay safe Dave and Pete.

Feels like this is going to be another scary summer for so many people in this sunburnt country.
