[SEL] Aus Fires

[Paul Pavlinovich]

We must not forget it isn't over yet. The fires are still burning. 
Communities are still under threat. Two towns from me (7km) in Gembrook 
they are on high alert. More people have been found dead today. The toll 
is huge. One commentator made the point today that we've lost more 
people to this fire than we did in the Vietnam war. Scary.

The way I've pasted this the links should not come through. If they do - 
please don't go to them to keep the site clear for those in danger. If 
anyone wants detailed information contact me off list. I check the 
alerts every 15 minutes now that one fire is nearby and the wind blowing 
in this direction - I'll be more than happy to send the full text off list.

Regards
Paul
