Bush Fires-narre North & Surrounding Areas


Recommended Posts

I was kicking back at home around 3ish when i got thick smell of smoke wafting through the house. Stepped outside only to see a shitload of smoke. I went for a drive 5 mins up the road and came across 'Elvis' filling up.

The amount of water that thing sucks up is unbelievable. I could literally see the water level drop every singe time.

i live in lalor, not far from the edge so you can say on the end.

as i hit the "fast reply" button that water carrier thingo flew overhead. going towards wallan.

god its loud

be on your feet dude, just heard on 3aw . 6houses are gone down there in narre south.

just saw that chopper over my house in keysborough about 20mins ago

I was on the western port fwy earlier and could see all the smoke near the high voltage power lines.

I could hear sirens non stop about 20 mins ago but it seems to have subsided.

Also earlier today i spotted a 180 on fire outbound on the Monash just before stud road.

When i was coming back from chadston earlier i went past a spot with the remains of something that was burnt there and a guy in white sitting on the side of the road not looking real happy.

It's now dark & i'm paranoid cause i cannot see where the smoke is etc! :thumbsup:

The flames are what you have to worry about and you will see them better now, my mum and nephews are in traralgon and apparently traralgon is surrounded by fires.

And the flying embers.... :P I lived in Macedon when the Ash Wednesday fires went through, and I've seen embers fall from the sky like rain, and the start even more fires!

Bushfire's are mad and crazy beast, don't ever treat them lightly!

Take care everyone near these fires! :thumbsup:

Oh my God,

Only this morning everything was ok now there are 14 confirmed dead and the number could reach up to 40!!! 100+ houses got destroy....:thumbsup:, RIP.

yeah i heard at 7pm when the first report of fires in bendigo started. 5hours later at 11pm they lost 42homes.

they were ready for another ash wednesday, but fire and wind, its bloody unreal.

BRING BACK STONEING FOR FIRE BUGS !

Very sad and worrying 24 hours :D

My brothers mates parents are all in Yarram with a few losing their homes. The fire reached the edge of my g/f's parents Vineyard on the Hyland Hwy but turned on the edge of the property we are hearing. The access is still closed off so unconfirmed. Also unable to get hold of them for nearly 2 hours as the lines were all down and no mobile reception adding to the worry. One of his mate's mum works with the choppers in the area so was able to give updates from mid afternoon yesterday yet the Herald Sun didnt report it until nearly 10pm getting to Yarram. She had lived in the area all her life so every property is pretty much personally known making it even more devastating.

However, g/f's dad's friend who owns a huge hotel in Marysville lost it all yesterday. News reports are saying that only the bakery is left in Marysville.

Flew back in from Syd this morn after Top Gear and the scale of devastation and smoke is monumental.

Hope no one else has to go through this

They've just shown overhead views of Marysville in a news report on the ABC and it's virtually all gone. Kinglake is apparently much the same. Many, many burnt out cars are being found on the roads and this is where many dead might be found.

Very sad to see those people in Narre Warren interviewed. One minute they were watching TV, and the next their house and virtually everything else they own is gone.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
