We might not be able to be on the ground fighting these fires, but we can support the crews doing the hard yards.
Fysh is atm, helping to make sure these crews have food and water.
She is at the local fire shed, making sandwiches, prepare meals and providing support.
I will rock up this arvo and lend a hand, what ever they think I can help with.
Some of these guys have done this non stop for 2 or more weeks now.

Give this a go:

In 2 days, my NSW map has had over 2,000 visits, has made it onto the University's official Twitter feed and has quite a few people using it to supplement what is already known.

...

It's a reassuring validation that your stuff is going to do the job...


Hi Ed

Just looking to see what's happening, having to change maps to go cross-Border :'(, & just had a thought ...

Could you possibly put a link on each of your pages to go straight to the other maps ???

Maybe, where it changes to blank grey with fire markings when you cross the Qld border, have 2 - 3 nice big clickable buttons " For NSW Fire Map, click here" & vice versa ???

I'm sort of in the dog house at university for it at the moment, so I'm taking a break from doing any more with it until I hear back from some others as to what to do with it next.

There's only so much I can do because of how it's put together in ArcGIS, so that limits that functionality.

I may have ruffled a few feathers in other faculties with it; there is a fancy CRC that has done some stuff with similar data, but are definitely in this category:


So at the moment I'm staying away from doing too much with it until it settles down and I can work out some ways of extricating myself from the dog house...

It will be a huge effort if they can stop this reaching the coast.

A new series on SBS, their exploring the archives and seeing what the country looked like when Cookie and then the 1st fleet rocked up.

Since then it would appear our attempts at preserving the wilderness is just ensuring it gets more messed up when it does burn:

Has always been long referred to as the Eastern firebreak for ages, long before the RFS was formed, even called that by the old now retired Forestry workers.

Around lunch time,
Residents of Woombah, Iluka were told to leave.
Now they are told it is too late.
:( :(
The chopper(Jerry)is supported by small planes.
Looks like they are working on the dwellings in woombah.

I haven't checked the last couple of hours.

We are a long way from these fires, touch wood they don't come closer.
The whole Clarence Valley has come together, people have come from Logan(gld) with med supplies for live stock, native animals.
It is heart wrenching to see the destruction, it is also amazing to hear the stories of strangers helping, giving of their time, effort freely.

Things have gotten worse in the last 8 hours.
Ashby, Woombah, even spot fires in cane fields on Chatsworth Island.
It's not good, a long night ahead for RFS and associated services.

Fark me,
Channel ten news just reported this fire as in the Richmond Valley.
Don't these news outlets check their dribble?
That's right,
They won't know Shit from clay if it's out side of NSW, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong.

That's the problem when the journos just go off the RFS website.  They fire is called the Myall Creek Road Fire at Myall Creek Rd, Bora Ridge, NSW in the Richmond Valley Council.  the fact the fire front is now burning in another LGA doesn't matter.  Bit hard to look at the next info screen and the map and work it out for them.

Yeah, you're right mate.
Now Channel 9 news reports,
'Lucky escape for woombah residents as fire surround them'.

Footage and interview is of a house at Camira Crk, stated at bottom of screen as a bloke recalls how close the fire came.

Who TF does their editing, who does the script preparation?

Hell we learnt that Shit in year 10(1982), proof read Shit.

Edit,
Our local Fire RFS Captain has through FB reassured the local Lawrence residents that at this time there is no threat.

At no time has so many people had such access to information, yet there is so much miss information out there.
