Looks like we Aussies are in for a long bush fire season this year. It started today with a suburb of Canberra being on Watch and Act and having its school evacuated for over 12 hours today. Doreen's Nicky is safe and this post isn't going to send her into a tizzy. 2 November is very early for fire season to kick off.. we also had fires in NSW, Victoria and SA today... my brother is off at the Naracoorte fires which are still not under control but threatening vineyards... so they better pull their fingers out (sorry Aussie black humour... when the shit hits the fans we make lame jokes)..... there are 2 huge fires at the top corner of Vic that are burning out of control in a national park and may join but at this stage there are no threats to communities.... The Canberra ones are the closest to communities but the risk has been down graded even though they are not under control yet.... So what caused the fires... lightening strikes... doubtful, Canberra it was a burnt out car... the others it is looking like a fire bug, especially the ones here.

 

Now Australia is a tinder box this year... huge parts of the country are in horrendous drought... it was a pretty dry winter.... but such an active fire day so early in the year is a big worry.

Good luck to all the folks down under.

 

As a show of respect, I'm not even going to make a dirty joke about the term "bushfire."

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
