^We've just had one here, threatening homes just on the other side of town - always a hazard in the summer. Wind is blowing at 60 kilometres per hour which doesn't help matters. Helicopters dumping water on the flames - those pilots are incredible. How they control those machines in these dreadful conditions is beyond skillful. Very brave!! Seems to be under control now. Phew!
