Am qualifying earlier than expected - this Sunday. Nervous but exhilarated. On Sept 25th, off to South Eastern Training Ground to put hot stuff out with wet stuff. (Can't wait, it's supposed to the best fun.) Hopefully will get to help the DSE with some more burn outs before summer hits. Our rebuilt satellite station opens in a few weeks. Royal Commission Interim report comes out this afternoon - some big changes to take place. Fires have burned through winter - very little fires, meter by meter, but still burned when all should be damp and wet and inflammable.

For anyone even vaguely curious about what is happening in this neck of the woods, (Fingers crossed for lots of rain in spring:)
Next fire season could be worse: report (the Age)
* July 28, 2009
Victoria faces a greater threat than Black Saturday in the coming fire season, according to a leaked report.
The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) report says scant winter rain and the prospect of drier, warmer conditions could result in the "greatest potential loss to life and property".
The report, leaked to Fairfax Community Newspapers, was tabled at a DSE and Country Fire Authority strategic preparedness committee meeting on July 10.
"The prospect we are looking at is not just another above-average fire season with above-normal losses or risks to life and property," the report stated.
"The genuine prospect of a season with the greatest potential loss to life and property is now in sight and, as climate indicators strengthen, this looks to be an increasing likelihood."
The Black Saturday fires in February that devastated parts of Victoria cost 173 lives and destroyed thousands of properties.
DSE fire management officer Paul Brockhoff said in the report that the number of fires and the predicted burn areas were expected to run ahead of the 30-year average.
"There is across the state an observed lack of rain, increased evaporation and the strongest predictions so far of the continuation of drier and warmer conditions," Mr Brockhoff said.
The report also said there was a "high likelihood" of an El Nino event occurring this year, with the fire season to begin early and be more active in the early part of the season.
It said larger fires were also expected due to the absence of natural barriers, such as moist gullies and waterways.
