3 dead. 240 km fire front, homes and farm buildings destroyed. Fire fighters expect it will take 5 days to get control of the blaze. Fire crews and appliances are rushing from nieghbouring states to help. Temps in the 30c's and 90km per hour winds fanned a massive blaze causing fire fighters to flee for their lives. |

Good thing you're okay Jeff. Thanks julie, I'm hundreds of miles away from the fire in a different state and I live in the middle of a city. Still though seeing the suffering of others on such a large scale on TV is still distressing. |
