It was 32° Celsius in my bedroom when I last looked after 11pm last night.
There must have been some winds around as I slept, as #SES crews are around town clearing branches & trees from the roads.
The local #firies are at the fire station, having breakfast & waiting to see what the day brings. (There were 2 small #bushfires yesterday evening about 9km’s from me).
More training going on today for our local area #firies. #CFA #FireFighters
The local siren started started early this morning & since then #fire engines assembled from nearby towns. #auspol
Thanks to all the #firies * out there, facing dangerous conditions for all of us.
A very blurry pic from last night of the chopper pad in Gisborne with fire engines everywhere.
*Aussie #slang for #FireFighters
Today, another 67 Aussie fire specialists departed Sydney for the US to support local firefighters.
This follows an August 3rd contingent of almost 200 firefighting personnel from Australia and New Zealand who flew out to be deployed in California and its neighbouring states Oregon and Washington State.
