In the news

My dad lives just on the east edge of the massive fire south of Nowra. The current advice from the fire service is:

It is too late to leave. Seek shelter as the fire approaches. Seek shelter in a solid structure to protect yourself from the heat of the fire.
Monitor the conditions and know what you will do if the fire threatens.
Be alert to embers and spot fires.

They have been evacuated to the community centre for the second time this week. A few hours ago the southerly wind change came through with gusts up to 50mph. The temperature dropped from 40 degrees to 22. It is now the middle of the night so they won't know if the house is OK until tomorrow.
