It was very smoky in the west of Melbourne too this morning! It's cleared up a bit now though. It was really strange for me as it's the first time i've experienced this sort of thing.

It doesn't really make sense to say that.. i feel sorry for them... thats there job, i mean they enjoy that sort of thing. If they didn't they wouldn't do it. Same with coppers... i mean people say that they feel sorry for them having to deal with that... well i dont, im happy that they are doing what they enjoy. Fighting crime. THey want that, they get, good! i mean they want to fight fires... they enjoy it... meh...

still, even though they enjoy it, imagine how uncomfortable they would be, its 30 something degrees, they are wearing those suits & fighting a fire, it wouldnt be a pleasent job whether you enjoy it or not

This is what it was like just after 6 am last Tuesday up here in the North East of the state near the NSW border. Could easily look at the sun through the smoke without squinting. Has been the same or worse every day since, & at times nearly as bad inside the house as outside.

Yeah true nomad. Last night I saw what would have been a white moon, was orange. You really see the effects showing.

Yea, im with you. I have family and friends in the CFA. They join not only because they enjoy it but because somebody has to do it. It certainly isnt what most people think. You are put in dense bushland with dead scrub all around and a cliff face behind, they have to wear hot clothing to protect them selves and have to face 60+ degrees heat just to try to save the communitys around the fires. Not only do I feel sorry for them in the current heat and conditions I applaud them, and so I should I live south of the fires in gippsland and guess where they are heading.
