2018 08 10 Fire across the valley

NEW DAY, NEW FIRE. This fire started this morning on the west side of the valley. It's the third fire in four days!

Within a day, this small (~ 1 hectare) blaze had blossomed to over 25 hectares. It became harder to see because a pall of smoke blanketed the hillside with just some flames glowing in the timber at the edges.
