dev null Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 It's far put of the firing line Unless some brain dead tosser decides to toss a cigarette butt out of the window while driving down the pass on the Nuweberg.
Slowbee Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 The Firstcare Wildfire Support from George came down to help - but the bakkie has damaged tyres and they dont want to drive back with them on. I have offered to buy them a new set to get home and fill the tank with gas. If any somerset west guys want to also chip in, let me know.

I personally cant right now, but maybe post on facebook and maybe one of the tyre shops might offer to donate a set or give it at cost?
lerouc Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Dont underestimate the power of social media, its because of this that the support from our community has been huge over the past week.
Slowbee Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 finished one and onto the other. but our celebrations were a bit to early - its flaring up again in this 40km/hr wind. but the slight happy buzz through the veins is going to get me to sleep. thanks for all your thoughts and prayers guys. our little valley is not out the woods just yet

Slowbee Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 the fire has flared up again, the wind last night did not help. nothing to dangerous yet, but they trying to keep it out of plantations and vineyards. Now that I know a volunteer crew (who also know a few others) I have contacts. Lets hope it does not get worse, but weather man pete has high temps and wind this afternoon. Getting back to smoldering status this afternoon is going to be key.PS if only i was fit - should be riding my bike .....looks like good weather to ride
