Everyone gathered around a fire in the back yard of the cabin we stayed at. Tab is sitting on the broken hot tub.
I wanted to document some of the Pinery fire (25th Nov 2015). Partly to understand it but also so that others can appreciate what the locals have to deal with.
The Jenkin history and my memories of farms, covers the Pinery fire area. I still have uncles and oher relatives in the area with farms.
My father grew up in the area and knows almost everyone affected in the local townships (Many are related to me in some way). We took a day to check out two of my uncles farms (one was my grandparents old farm),
We checked out the creeks and roads my father learnt to drive on and where my Grandfather had a push bike accident. .
The area had 2 feet high crops everywhere ...... gone. Nothing left. No ash, no roots, no nothing. Empty fields.
Lush green areas were starting to dry out for summer, but are now arid desert sands. Some areas feel like the drought striken Mallee scrub.
We visited many of my fathers friends. My father was checking up on people in the local car club, seeing what cars survived. A few were lost and we got to see them first hand.
My dad told me about going to School and knowing Allan Tiller, who died in the fire. We saw Paul Blacket's burnt out machinery. We saw the house where they had no insurance, 4 children.
It was a very sureal evnvonment with smoke on the horizen in many directions. Days later, state emergency services, fire forensics, county fire service trucks with emergency lights flashing and insurance assessors are everywhere.
Spot fires are still burning, homes still smouldering, hay still smoking and dead livestock still laying in fields.
In town, in Wasley, the local post office is burnt and so are the Bowls club, club rooms. To show how tough they are, the locals are playing bowls, with the club behind them in ruins.
As we go through town, we see a house intact, then a burnt out house, then another house ok, then a burnt out car. The railway lines and sleepers are still smouldering.
Many houses look intact but poeple are moving out. The beams in the cealing are about to collapse.
The fire front was about 42kms (26 miles) long and was being fanned by 90 km/hr (55 miles/hr) winds. Cars were catching on fire as people were driving to flee the scene.
Many cars simply died with the lack of ozygen and vapour lock.
The fire travelled quickly and caught people off guard.
I mentioned to my father about all the old ruins about the place that had been there for years. He told me that these where from the last great fire, January 1948.

Tens of thousands of hectares of crops, livestock and expensive farm machinery have been destroyed.
Industry figures estimate the economic loss to farmers could top $100 million AUD and that more than 51,000 animals have died amid fears of even more widespread damage
The area affected by the massive blaze is home to many leading cereal and pulse grain producers, who grow wheat, barley, canola, lentils and chickpeas.
Almost two-thirds of the damaged zone was paddocks. Many farmers lost valuable hay for feed and revenue.
EIGHTY seven homes have been destroyed by the Pinery fire.
Friday it was announced that the fire had been contained, with 200 firefighters remaining on the fireground to monitor and control any flare-ups.
A further 388 farm sheds and outbuildings, 93 pieces of farm machinery and 98 vehicles were destroyed.
Two people have died.
Five people remain in a critical condition in hospital with serious burns.
Ninety people have sought assistance for very minor to critical injuries.
PIRSA has assessed more than 270 properties in the fireground. They continue to help farmers and livestock owners.
More than 50,000 poultry were lost in the fire.
About 950 sheep have had to be euthanised (a number which is expected to rise sharply).
The fire has burnt an area of 82,600 hectares (826 kms squared / 513 miles squared) and has a 265 kilometre perimeter. (164 miles)

This is my first attempt at shooting fireworks - whilst I used a trip it was used as a monopod so by no means dead still nor handheld - quite happy with the result..
The 365 project so far...

Every full moon there is a gathering of drummers and assorted performance artists for an impromptu drum circle on the sands of Miami Beach. The fire dancers are one the the high points of the night's festivities.
A London Fire Brigade fire boat based at the Lambeth River Fire Station, seen participating in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant in 2012.
At the time, London Fire Brigade maintained one operational fire boat to respond to incidents and to support the operational crews from its land-based stations. The brigade had a second boat (Firedart) which was used for training and as a reserve when the duty boat needed servicing.
Both were built by Almarintec of Northumberland in 1998. They were driven by two Hamilton water jets. Each unit provides 500 litres per second of thrust being powered by 2 x Volvo TAMD 63 engines producing 370 hp at 2800 rev/min.
The fireboatās rescue capabilities included three inflatable mud mats, a āJasonās cradleā for picking up casualties from the river and a bow ramp which can be lowered for beaching and landing on the foreshore. The fire-fighting facilities included a monitor which could deliver water from the Thames at 1850 litres per minute at 10 bars. In addition, the boats had two delivery outlets which could supply water via a hose ashore arrangement for land crews. A separate Hughes noble ejector pump was available for āpumping outā vessels taking on water. The large stable deck area was an ideal working platform for casualty care, and on occasions casualties were even been lowered onto it by helicopter.
Both boats were retired in 2022, being replaced by āTannerā and āErrington,ā two new Welsh-built boats that are faster, can pump more water and are bigger than Firedart and Fire Flash. The names commemorate Harry Errington, the winner of a George Cross, and Gillian Tanner, who was the only female firefighter awarded a George Medal, both during WWII. The new boats' numbers, H23A and H23B, are in memory of two London firefighters, Adam Meere and Billy Faust, who died attending a fire in Bethnal Green in 2004.

A better picture of the fireplace--shows the nice brick colrs and dark wood better. Taken from my favorite perch on the couch, where I'm listening to music playing on the Bose via the Airport Express.
Not every act at the spin jam is fast-paced or based around explosions. Some of them are very relaxing, like the graceful motions of a fire fan.
New Years Fire
This was our first time with a fire pit. We had some old sparklers from the 4th of July and they wouldn't work so we threw them in the fire. Then, they decided to go off.
This looks cozy but it was extremely frustrating. The firewood I picked up at a nearby shop looked dry. It felt dry. But it would not catch fire. Two nights in a row a got a good blaze going, but once the kindling was gone, the fire petered out. On the second night I had a huge amount of kindling, enough for twenty minutes of roaring fire, but the logs would only smolder.
It's almost sad to watch a huge roaring fire burn itself down to just a few glowing embers.
And yet, the last moments of any fire's life are so glorious and beautiful. :)

Over 200 firefighters battled massive fire at a recycling plant in Harbor Gateway. LAFD responded to reported structure fire at 10:12AM on 12/12/15. Over 200 firefighters from LAFD, LACoFD and Torrance Fire worked together for almost four hours before knockdown. The density of the materials caused continued flare ups and required resources to continue the fight throughout the night.
