At 19:48 Allentown Comm Center transmitted box 2561 for 12th and Allen Streets for a reported house fire at 1137 Allen Street putting Engines 9, 4, 6, 10 (F.A.S.T.), Truck 2 and Battalion 43 on the ticket.
Battalion 43 arrives on location reporting a 2-story M/O/R with smoke showing from the roof and front of the building. Engine 9 has reports of people trapped and goes to the 2nd floor where a victim is found. The Battalion chief orders an EMS rig to the scene forthwith.
Engine 6 brings a water supply in from the nearest hydrant. Engine 9 stretches a hand line to the basement and darkens down the fire as they progress down the interior stairwell. Crews in the basement were having difficulty locating the seat of the fire because the initial hose crew probably knocked the fire on the way down the stairs. With fire showing from the basement windows in the front of the fire building, Battalion 43 radio's interior crews of the fire. Engine 9 members make their way to the front of the basement where they find the seat of the fire.
A second hand line is stretched as a precautionary line. The Battalion Chief signals an extra engine company to the scene for manpower. The victim was aided by EMS and transported Class 3 to Saint Lukes Hospital.

The Haz-mat team was called out an hour into the fire for oil in the water run-off that was dumping into the storm sewer drains on Plymouth Street.
The fire was under control by 14:00 hours.
It was determined early in the fire that a ruptured gas tank was the cause of the fire. The tank was accidentally punctured and the gas poured onto the floor until it hit an ignition source.

I liked this recipe for scones. Compared to my other scone recipes, it is more cake like. I intend to add more raisins next time 2/3C. instead of 1/3 C.. Also I didn't brush with the Maple syrup for the second time until serving. I reheated the scones in the microwave and also heated the syrup to brush on at the last minute.
I love this. I used dried cranberrys instead of currents. Try it you'll like it!

Mortgage rewards are a good move
Mortgage deals are not always smoke and mirrors, some of them do have genuine good deals!
It is important to review your mortgage regularly and not get too comfortable on the standard variable rate. This rate is subject to change, as you can expect from something called the 'variable rate' and it can be due to a number of factors, so it can be difficult to foresee any changes to this rate, meaning you cannot necessarily guarantee your outgoings for your mortgage for the near future.
What we prefer to do is to research the best deals on offer to you, such as discounted, fixed, tracker etc, and compare these to the standard variable rate.
Unless you are in quite a bit of negative equity, getting a deal can be much better for you and allows you to plan ahead.
Remember, these deals don't always have to be from your current lender, but be careful! There are many hidden fees and penalty charges, so be sure to get tailored mortgage advice from a professional before making any major decisions.

Hot Or Not? Nicki Minaj "Boss @$$" [AUDIO]
Nicki is BACK!!!! After a year of features and business ventures, Nicki Minaj is back on her solo grind. Check out her hot new radio-unfriendly club banger "Boss" inside.
Nicki is BACK!!!! After a year of features and business ventures, Nicki Minaj is back on her solo grind. Check out her hot new radio-unfriendly club banger "Boss" inside.
We're going to to borrow a phrase from Nicki Minaj here and shout: "POUND THE ALARM!"
The rap vixen is known for populating her Instagram feed with lots of sexy selfies. Her bodacious boobies are
often always prominently featured, as are a variety of wigs. Oh, and the color pink.
Lil Kim took a break from working on her upcoming mix-tape (which I feel should actually be an album) to sit down with XXL Magazine and address a few things with unity amongst women in hip-hop being one of them.
It's going to be a very pinkish Christmas this holiday season thanks to Nicki Minaj. The Young Money superstar has unveiled her own line of Beats by Dre headphones called Pink Pros.
Do you want to smell like a grand? Then try Nicki Minaj's deluxe edition of her Pink Friday perfume. The fragrance will be available just in time for the holiday season.
Nicki Minaj may not approve, but according to GQ Magazine, Kendrick Lamar is the "King Of Rap". And rap never looked so classy! Check out his cover shot and remarks about Drake inside.
When Kendrick Lamar's controversial verse on Big Sean's 'Control' was released, he mentioned several rappers that he felt were his peers. One artist he didn't name was Nicki Minaj. During an interview with Power 105's the Breakfast Club, Queen Barbz addressed her absence on the song as well as K.Dot's claim that he's the King of New York.
Nicki Minaj let it all hang out in her Halloween costume this year. She shared plenty of revealing pics on Instagram, which are NSFW.
While Iggy Azalea may have taken home the crown for the best Halloween costume, Nicki Minaj turned a lot of heads with her reveal last night (Oct. 31). She actually wasn't wearing much of a costume... or much of anything at all.

Latest Sudan Fact Sheet
Key Developments
Conflict in South Sudan continues to prompt the arrival of new refugees to Sudan, raising the total number of refugees from South Sudan since mid-December 2013 to more than 189,700 people as of August 17. Approximately 110,000 of the new arrivals had received humanitarian assistance as of early August.
Approximately 4 million people in Sudan were experiencing Stressed and Crisis—integrated food security phase classification 2 and 3, respectively—levels of food insecurity as of July, according to the USAID-supported Famine Early Warning Systems Network July-to-December Food Security Outlook.
The UN World Food Program (WFP), a partner of USAID's Office of Food for Peace, launched a new relief and recovery program in July. In the coming two years, WFP is targeting 5.2 million people in Sudan with food and cash assistance; the program will focus on providing immediate relief as well as facilitating early recovery and resilience to future shocks.
Sudan continues to cope with the effects of conflict, economic shocks, and perennial environmental hazards, such as drought and flooding, while insecurity, access restrictions, and bureaucratic impediments limit the ability of relief agencies to respond effectively to humanitarian and recovery needs.
Since 2003, the complex emergency in the Darfur region of western Sudan has affected more than 4.7 million people, including more than 1.4 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) who remain in camps, according to the U.N. An upsurge in conflict among the Sudanese Armed Forces, armed opposition groups, militias, and ethnic groups displaced more people—both internally and as refugees to neighboring countries—in the first six months of 2013 than in 2011 and 2012 combined.
In Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile states, Sudan's "Two Areas," fighting that began in mid-2011 between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North continues. The conflict has severely affected or displaced more than 1.1 million people within the Two Areas and caused more than 234,000 people to flee to neighboring countries, mostly South Sudan, according to the U.N.
The United States has declared disasters in Sudan due to complex emergency each year since 1987. As the largest international donor of humanitarian aid in Sudan, the United States continues to provide impartial, needs-based assistance to all accessible areas and populations, including displaced and otherwise conflict-affected people, individuals living in IDP camps, local communities hosting IDPs, and formerly-displaced returnees.

On 1 October 2013, Obama brought out two young ladies with serious medical conditions, said they had been unable to receive any health care before, but, he said, now the ACA would give them full access to the world's best healthcare for a total out-of-pocket cost of less than $100 a month..
This was challenged, of course, but the official, average cost for those newly covered by the ACA is $82 a month. Of course, that's AFTER the subsidy that one court just upheld and another ruled illegal. Without that subsidy, it gets much more expensive.
So, of course, every decent American blames Obama for this fiasco. And our Representatives in the House have had the good sense to vote against the ACA every time it's come up (except for one).
Let's stick to waging war, we've done so well there over the past several decades.
That's one interpretation. The more correct one is that they are recalling vehicles that should have been recalled a dozen years ago.
Aw… The government "masterminds" won't be able to help? What a shame…
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help'." -Ronald Reagan, 1986
And St Ronny made sure, as best he could, that it came true.
Even Ronny, after making tax cuts, realized he had to raise taxes to cover his assets.
Government spending ballooned under his administration, and his budget deficits did as well.
Higher taxes cause businesses to invest in the companies future.
Ronald Reagan wouldn't be able to get a foot in the door of the GOP these days if he ran on his record. Raised the debt ceiling 17 times? Raised taxes 11 times? Eliminated loads of tax shelters and loopholes? Granted amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants?
The Tea Party would run him out of town on a rail.
Here's a sample of the real world for you: Obama sets a new record: borrowed more money than George Washington through W. Bush combined!
Golly, I didn't know the Executive Branch has control of the checkbook, too. Perhaps you could share with us where you got that amusing factoid?
And now that the deficit has drastically declined, the wing-nut media isn't talking about it anymore:
Here's a new insight for sw10mm — The president isn't responsible for the budget. Also, you need to verify what looks to me like a ridiculous figure. If you can't attack him without lying, he must be doing a pretty good job!

Gulf Coast Cowboy: December 11
Well folks, we've been under ice for the last 5 days and it stinks. Winter Storm Cleon came through our neck of the woods and wreaked its havoc on us. The sun has been sparse enough to make us wonder if it was even there. Down here in Texas, we aren't prepared for this kind of weather, so when it hits us, it hits us hard and we can't do anything about it. This weeks playlist is all about how to deal with snowy weather when all you wanna do is hit the beach and sip on a margarita.

Homer's Odyssey
Trivia, Quotes, Notes and Allusions
Quotes (16)
(Chief Wiggum speaks at the city council meeting.) Chief Wiggum: Well, it's no secret. Our city is under siege by a graffiti vandal known as "El Barto." Police artists have a composite sketch to go over and if anyone has any information, please contact us. (A sketch is passed around; Bart gets it and sees that the drawing is of an older, stubbly, mean looking version of himself.) Bart: Cool, man.
Homer: Beer. Now there's a temporary solution.
(A depressed Homer prepares to search for a new job) Marge: There, there, Homer. You'll find a job. You've caused plenty of industrial accidents, and you've always bounced back.
(Mr. Burns offers Homer the new job of safety inspector) Mr. Burns: The generous offer I'm making is good for exactly…30 seconds, Simpson. Homer's Brain: Me, in charge of safety? This place could blow sky high. Nah. I'll concentrate on my work now. Gee, this guy's desk sure is big. I can't let Marge support the family. This guy's got the cleanest shirt I've ever seen. What should I--. Mr. Burns: Simpson, time's up. Homer: Mmm, what the hey. I'll take the job. Mr. Burns: Excellent.
(The cartoon character Smilin' Joe Fission informs Bart's class about nuclear energy.) Smilin' Joe Fission: Uh-oh. Whoops. Looks there's a little leftover nuclear waste. No problem. (Smilin' Joe tucks the waste under a rug.) Smilin' Joe Fission: I'll just put it where nobody'll find it for a million years.
(Homer makes a proposal at City Hall.) Homer: Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed councilmen, boys and girls, retired people with nothing better to do. Danger comes in many, many forms, from the dinosaurs that tormented our cavemen ancestors, to the-- Councilman: Simpson, get to the point! Homer: I think we should put a stop sign at "D" street and 12th. The other-- Councilman: All in favor? Councilmen: (In unison) Aye. Councilman: Approved. Meeting adjourned. Coffee and maple logs in the lobby. Homer: (In awe) Wow. They listened to me.
Homer: Kill myself? Killing myself is the last thing I'd ever do. Now I have a purpose, a reason to live. I don't care who I have to face. I don't care who I have to fight. I will not rest until this street gets a stop sign!
(A depressed Homer lies unresponsive on the couch.) Bart: All he does is lie there like an unemployed whale. Lisa: I don't know what else to do. (Maggie pokes Homer in the eye and he does nothing.) Bart: There's only one thing we can do: Take advantage of the old guy. You gotta sign my report card, Dad. (Homer signs the report card.)
Notes (9)
The elderly couple that makes fun of Homer when he walks past them with the boulder were suppose to be regular recurring characters who would offer off-kilter comments to what they see. But the idea was quickly dropped.
In this episode, Bart makes a prank phone call to Moe´s tavern for the first time.
Mr. Burns says his catchphrase "Excellent" for the first time in this episode.
Otto is designed to look like The Simpsons writer Wallace Wolodarsky.
In this episode Homer is promoted and becomes the "Safety Inspector" at the power plant; he stays like that for the rest of the series.
The "J" in Homer's full name was inserted by the writers as a tribute to Bullwinkle J. Moose from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
The cartoon at the power plant was given an old-time reel footage feel by having the animation cells dragged across a cement floor to scratch it up. This trick was used several times by the animators for the next 10 seasons.
Blackboard Joke: I will not skateboard in the halls. Couch Gag: The family runs in and crams onto the couch, causing it to fall apart.
Trivia (11)
Waylon Smithers was mistakenly animated in this episode and appears as an African American, this was corrected and in all other episodes he appears with his intended skin color.
Homer pens his suicide note on "Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today" stationery.
Going to the Nuclear Power Plant the children pass the Springfield Toxic Waste Dump, the Springfield Tire Yard (which is not on fire as of yet), the Springfield State Prison, and Springfield Elementary School.
Springfield Shopper headlines: "Simpson Says Safe!", "Dozens Cheer Homer Simpson", "Homer Simpson Strikes Again!", "Watch Out Here Comes Homer" and "Enough Already Homer Simpson."
When Bart takes advantage of Homer and has him sign his report card, the report card reads as follows: Science: U, Social Studies: F, Reading: U, Math: F, Writing: U, and Physical Ed: D
One of the signs Homer puts up says: "Sign Ahead."
A sign inside the nuclear power plant reads: "Our Safety Record: [7] Days Since Last Accident."
There is a three-eyed fish swimming in the pond outside the plant. The fish looks much like Blinky from episode 2-4, "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish."
Allusions (4)
Al Jolson Mr. Burns makes a reference to Al Jolson as he watches Homer lead a safety rally in front of the nuclear power plant. Al Jolson was a revered and popular singer/Broadway/film star during the early 20th century.
They Might Be Giants The heading on Homer's small notepad, "Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today," is a funny reference to the band They Might Be Giants and a lyric from a song called "Put Your Hand Inside The Puppet Head."
Get Smart After Smithers shows Bart's class the film, he leads the class on a tour and they walk through doors that open much like the doors that open during the opening sequence of the 1960's TV show, Get Smart.
Homer's Odyssey
The title for this episode obviously comes from the Greek epic, Homer's Odyssey.

Who is Dan Cody and what is his significance in Gatsby's life?
3 Answers | Add Yours
Dan Cody is Gatsby's "Role Model" when Gatsby first got out of the war he was poor and Dan Cody taught him how to make a living and not be homeless and stuff like that anymore
This question has already been answered. Here is a comprehensive link for you: http://www.enotes.com/great-gatsby/search?q=dan+cody
This is a good question, because Dan Cody is a man that set Gatsby's life on a certain trajectory.
According to the novel, Gatsby went to college, but because he grew up on a poor farm, he had to work his way through school. He worked as a janitor. He could not put up with the humiliation of this, so he left. Instead, he worked on Lake Superior fishing and digging clams.
One day he met Dan Cody, a wealthy man on a boat. Gatsby warned Cody of an impending storm. This was when the two became friends. Also Gatsby became Cody's personal assistant. When Cody died, he left Gatsby a large sum of money, $25,000, but Cody's mistress did not allow Gatsby to have it.
Gatsby at this point set himself to make money, and money he did make. Part of his ability to make money was on account of the time he spend with Dan Cody. From this perspective, we can say that Gatsby would have not been the Great Gatsby without the "Great" Cody.

This mascara is horrible. I think I've been spoiled by using all high end makeup products for the past feew years. I was recently away for a few days and forgot my "Fresh" mascara. Just went to the drugstore to pick this up. HORRIBLE. My eyelashes are already very think and long. This took about 10 coats to actually look alright and when the product finally showed up it looked clumpy. Throwing this away, it's just wasting space in my makeup bag.

I think I like this even more than Lash Blash, which tended to flake on me. Yes, it does have a slight scent but it's pleasant and fades quickly. This gives me full, lush, non-clumpy lashes.

I was so excited to try this new mascara after I saw a commercial for it. But it looks like I got excited for nothing! I don't know of a bad smell like others have mentioned, but It does clump & is VERY annoying!

eh, it's okay. not the greatest, but definetly not the worst i've tried. i got it on sale at target for 5 bucks. i haven't yet had any package quality issues (been using it about a week). it goes on a bit clumpy and i do have to separate my lashes after. it smells odd, but it's not a huge deal. i'll finish the tube (tho it'll be a long three months for me), but i won't be repurchasing. i'm going to try max factor 2000 calorie next, and if that doesn't work i'll be going back to neutrogena healthy volume (nothing HG about it, but it didn't clump on me).
edit 9/25/08: this stuff sucks. my tube did separate, so they definetly need to work on the package. it's also now clumping and almost impossible to separate my lashes.

Ugh, the smell is aweful and my eyes had an allergic reaction to it. It made my lids super puffy. Plus it wasn't even all that great of a mascara. It gave no where near the volume my Lash blast does and it flakes easily. There are better d/s mascara's out there girls, skip on this one.

The chemically smell really surprised me; I've never used a mascara that had an obvious smell. To me, it wasn't that noticeable since I wasn't using it anywhere near my nose. The packaging is similar to Covergirl's Lash Blash, but smaller. It doesn't volumize much, but makes my lashes feel "plush." They are longer and very soft and weightless, but I only use two coats, so that might be a reason. It does weigh my lashes down, but I've noticed the mascaras that keep curl are usually very drying and make my lashes crunchy after it dries. I like it and will try it in waterproof. Usually they hold curl better.

I like this product. It isn't perfect but for the money it is a good product. I have dry skin so it lasted hours on me but at the end of the day my cat eye was missing its tail. If you have oily skin it may act differently. Pigmentation is ok , it may require 2 coats to appear intense, but one looks nice for day time. Wasn't too wet or too dry and the felt tip was small and enabled you to be precise. As for the waterproof claim, it is ok after it sets for a minute but I'm sure there is better waterproof liners out there.

I bought this since it was incredibly cheap and I adore E.L.F. The first applications looked great but IT IS NOT WATERPROOF. It actually rubs off within a few hours. It has no staying power at all. After 10 uses the pen had completely dried up and I ended up having to throw it out. Not impressed, I will not be repurchasing.

Waterproof? Definitely not! I have very watery eyes and this rubbed off before I even left the house! Would not recommend this for those that are truly looking for something waterproof/water-resistant! This was just horrible. It also transferred to my lower lash line and smudged underneath my eyes� This is just a horrible product. Not that I am surprised, I have had several issues with their other eyeliners. It is a cheaper brand� so I guess you get what you pay for!

For $1 its not so bad. However its a piece of crap. It dried out after using it literally three times. For a backup its fine to have in your car for after you do your walk of shame. But its not something I would count on to use daily.
Seriously, it lasted maybe three applications. Stupid! Better off buying a $1 cheese burger. Would get more use out of that.

To be blatant, this eyeliner hella sucks. At first I actually kind of liked it, but then I noticed that it 1) isn't waterproof and 2) fades A LOT after just a few hours. The tip is felt and after about 2-3 weeks of using it, the tip began wearing out so I can't necessarily draw wings with it or use it when I need a precision. It has a dry consistency and pulled at my eyelid whenever I used it, and sometimes the pen would start drying out in the midst of applying my eyeliner. Like uhhh excuse me I still need to finish my other eye. It was only $2 so I'm not bawling my eyes out over this, but it was still an annoying experience.
This might be an alright product for someone who wants to experiment a little. I guess you could fight the fading by applying another liner on top (which seems counterproductive to me) or applying a black eyeshadow over it, but I prefer my eyeliner to not need me to take extra measures so that it stays on point lol.

We'll put it this way: I thought I had a good product until I bought the Revlon eyeliner pen. I compared them, and was shocked to find that the ELF pen was smaller, had a much wider nib, had a less opaque formula, and felt cheaper. It's not a 'bad' product, per se, but if I had my choice, I would go with Revlon even though it's several dollars more expensive.

Terrible! The colour isn't as black as I'd like it to be and after a few uses it's completely dried out. Furthermore the tip isn't really good for precise lines. It really does feel like a sloppy marker. I much prefer my Japanese brands such as Dollywink or Kiss Me Heroine Liner ($12-15 online but lasts much longer than this one) or even splurge on Stila, at least that lasts longer too.

I know these pen types tend to dry out faster than other types of eyeliners, but this one dried out after less than a handful of uses. I made sure to close the cap immediately after each use. Maybe I got a bad batch. It also skipped, tugged, and bothered my eye. The few times I was actual able to use it before it dried out, it was very dark black and it did stay on for a while. I think I paid like a dollar at Target for this.

Why don't people take fire warnings seriously?

There is a fire a few kms away from someone I know at the moment. Not huge, but they never are when they have just started!
CFA has issued a watch and act warning, which means:
Watch and Act
An emergency threatens you.
Conditions are changing and you need to start taking action now to protect your health, life and your family.
The warning says this fire may impact the area in the next couple of hours. Their response? Oh we'll just wait and see how it goes, the CFA will ring us if we need to get out. WTF?! The CFA are there to fight the fire, not to go and evacuate everyone that has not bothered to pay attention to the warnings and what they mean. This is why the warnings exist!
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:25 PM
I don't think people understand how fire works. Fires can move quickly and change directions very quickly. I also don't think people understand that they are not the only person trying to evacuate: one road out is going to get congested very quickly. People also don't understand that in thick smoke it can be difficult to see. Fire is very noisy making it difficult to hear properly. All these factors can make people confused and disoriented
and, at the heart of it, I do think there is an element of 'it won't happen to me'
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:29 PM
Well, this particular fire is now under control (a few minutes ago) which happened quite quickly but still, the advice should be taken seriously as you really never know if they are gong to control it or not do you.

I grew up in a fire risk area. My parents were members of the CFS. I did stuff for the CFS in my teenage years. I take all fires and all fire risks very very seriously
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:36 PM
We have a big one in town at the moment, thankfully not close to me, but I have friends posting on facebook saying its up to their fence line and the CFA has an emergency warning telling people to leave now if they're not prepared to fight, yet no one is taking notice
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:41 PM
It's simple really......people don't think it will ever happen to them. They think there will always be someone there to save them.
People have little idea about how bush/grass fires react and respond and don't realise that things can change in an instant.
They forget the pictures and stories of whole families being incinerated in their baths and cars from black saturday.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:45 PM
I don't get it either. I have been glued to our official fire service page here in Tas even though the closest fire is 40km away. The are constantly updating, constantly jumping from "watch and Act" to "emergency" The devastation the main fire has caused is unbelievable as well as over 100 dwellings destroyed. Interviews with some of the people who stayed to help fight said it was literally within 30seconds that the fire went from the hill to so close they had to run to the cars/trucks and get out of there.
I have a very real fear of fire and there is no way I would even be sticking around to defend my property, let alone "wait and see".

I think that is why I take it so seriously. I can't get those images out of my head. I would rather be called paranoid and leave at the first sign of danger and come back alive than hang around and wait and see and be stuck there when it is too late.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:50 PM
I also wonder at the way they give people the option of staying and defending - I personally would get a whiff of danger and be outta there straight away - whether my house was prepared or not. As long as the members of the family were safe, I wouldn't care if a) nothing happened and I evacuated for nothing or b) house burns to ground and only ashes are left. (Well of course I would care, but you know what I mean - I would rather have a family alive).
But what I cant understand is why they don't just flat out tell people to evacuate - is there much point to staying and defending your property? I am probably quite naive in that I've only lived in bushfire prone areas that are mostly residential, not farm land or anything like that. Obviously the farmers have more at stake and are more prepared both in equipment and in experience at dealing with a fire?
Not really sure what I'm getting at, other than, why not just get the heck out anyway? Please feel free to clue me in on why people do stay and whether it really is helpful to the rural fire crews when they do this - I am genuinely curious.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:52 PM
I think this is similar to the do people really still sunbake thread - they simply don't think it will apply to them.
I suppose if they don't live in an area that is fire prone you don't know the usual proceedures & i am also surprised at the number of people who don't watch the news.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:53 PM
As PP said people believe that it 'won't happen to them'.
DP has been opening a few eyes amongst our friends of late as he will ask EVERYONE 'What's your fire plan?' and if he doesn't think it is polished enough hassle them till they fix it.
He has also let people know about the difference between 'defendable' and 'non defendable' properties.
Our property is 'non defendable' (which throws a lot of people) because in spite of all our fire prevention prep. work we are at the very end of the road.
If there is no alternate escape route then the fire service will class you as 'non defendable'. Fire fighters are there to help, not to take life threatening risks for your property.

They don't think it will happen to them.
But also, they think that if it does happen to them that somehow they will be different - they'll manage to successfully defend their properties and their lives.
They have NO IDEA of how dramatic, terrifying, fast, confusing, hot, smoky and most important DEADLY a bushfire is.

Posted 08 January 2013 - 01:55 PM
Yes people just don't think it will happen to them. They also make the mistake of thinking they have heaps of time.
My parents were country farmers and they were always very vigilant about fire prevention and safety. They live in the middle of town now but still cannot understand why people have trees right up to the door and no fire breaks. And why people do not take the threat of fire seriously.

Once we have our property properly prepared then DH will probably defend our house if there is a fire (I would leave with the kids). Not on the code red days though. If a house is properly prepared then there is a good chance of being able to save it.
We have a lot of work to do before we are at that point. At this stage we are outta here on extreme risk days (we aren't extreme today)
Posted 08 January 2013 - 02:04 PM
unless you are in a major city or town, you are at risk.
it can and does happen to people who dont think it will happen to them...
it amazes me the complacency of some people.
We left work friday due to a watch and act - we werent prepared and even though our building is not flammable i said to my brother if fire was that close at home and you got a watch and act we would leave...so we did.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 02:05 PM
My neighbour went out the other day and left her young son home alone on the day that was going to be the worst fire danger day to that point. I was furious with her! She was an hour or so away, playing in a friends pool, and left a young boy in a rural property next to a bush reserve on his own with no means of escape. If I hadn't seen her facebook post and rang her to ask about her son, I wouldn't have known he was even there, so wouldn't have known to take him with me if we had evacuated.
People just don't take it seriously enough. Someone on the other thread thinks it would take "a day or two" for a fire to travel 50km so your safe. You aren't safe! You cannot possibly think that you have any chance of saving your house with a garden hose.
Quite frankly, I don't care if my house burnt down. My house is insured and stuff can be replaced. I would be sad, but my DS, dogs and I would be alive. That's why I pay a fortune for insurance every year, in the event of something like this happening. I can replace clothes and household belongings, I can't replace family and pets.
Just get out. You don't know better than the professionals who spent their lives fighting these horrible fires. If they suggest you leave, then for once in your life, do as you're bloody well told!
Posted 08 January 2013 - 02:06 PM
I will never, ever forget one of the black saturday stories - i think it was a dad. he had packed his young family into the car but the fire was quite a way, nowhere near them so he ran back up to the house to get photo albums or something. Within 2 minutes the fire hit and he came back to find the car completely incinerated. I dont know how anyone can be complacent.

We need to drive Sydney to Melb. We are watching the fires, weather and forecasts and will try and choose an appropriate day. Our original plan of driving today was canned. Good thing too, Hume is closed due to fires around Tarcutta.
Hopefully we will be able to drive Thurs but keeping an eye on it. Worst case senario is DH flies home to return to work and the kids and I drive in another weeks time.

I didn't know this was the case, so I've learnt something today. Our house is also at the end of a cul-de-sac, and the back fence is a massive ten foot wall (large road on the other side) so the street is the only way out. It makes sense now I think of it, but it's something I'd never thought about.
We're not in a hugely high risk area, although we are close to some parklands. My fire plan is GTFO. I was thinking about it today, and I could throw some clothes in a bag, grab my laptop and box of important documents, and have the cat and DS in the car in about ten minutes. If a fire broke out in the parklands we're near that is exactly what I would be doing.
PPs are right - no one thinks it will happen to them. And people get attached to material possessions and have a strong urge to protect their home. I would be devastated to lose our home, but there is no way I would risk the lives of DS, DH, myself or even my cat to try and defend it, even if we were prepared.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 03:29 PM
I don't know but I'm somewhat annoyed with one of my cousins - after his sister losing her house in Black Saturday he has waited until being told to evacuate recently to go despite there being a fire already only 10kms or so from his home and in a catastrophic area today. We are very much in the leave before problems category (well DS & I - DH stays due to being in the CFA)
Posted 08 January 2013 - 03:37 PM
I am watching the rfs website, and the local rfs Facebook page. We are in the catastrophic classification, but there is no fire. I imagine that if a fire comes it means get out fast, but what does it mean if there is no fire? Nothing really.
