I think he changed his user name recently, possibly to Ricey.


This is he I think.

Steve,

Brian's property is some 20-30 k's away from Wilmington, even so in those hot & dry conditions things happen fast.

Wilmington is not the best place to try & fight a fire , Tuff country . If it gets into the hills all you could do is protect life as best you can .
Stay safe out there

I'm at work at the moment.
From what Ive been told the fire is to the north of Wilmington in the Flinders Ranges.
The country is very rough and would be extremly difficult to fight a fire.
The town ship is on Evacuation alert.

Hope it all ends well for them.

Cheers
