From home last night. The firefront is threatening Collins Cap and Mt Marian. Also the country around Trestle Mountain is under threat :(

I hope they get it under control soon. Not nice to see fire anywhere.
They have brought my daughter across from King Island to help fight the fire and like any Dad would, I worry about my little girl in those circumstances.
Doesn't phase her one bit but I'm afraid it does Mum and Dad.
Heres praying everyone stays safe and damage is kept to a minimum..
