Luckily a break in the weather has dropped the fires from 180 or so to just over 80 I think so that's some good news.

Damn dude hope your home stays safe !

Thanks Dice but I think my house is safe it's the air quality though that's the real problem for myself and I guess all living things as it's trapped due to an inversion layer, so I checked this morning and it's back up to 114 fires in NSW and within 100k's of me 5 of those fires are out of control and are in the 30,000-500,000 hectares burnt it just nuts

They've just anounced that so far this fire season in NSW alone more than 680 homes have been lost with over 2000 outbuildings lost as well, and 250 homes damaged, also Koalas are on the brink of extinction as most of them have died in all the fires
