I'm really feeling it at the moment for the folk of Mallala and surrounding towns, I have family living in Mallala and my grandparents live on the outskirts of the town and judging by the photo's I've seen on the internet I don't think there house is going to be there tomorrow.
I have been able to ring around and have been informed that they fled in time and are safe somewhere in Gawler.

Pretty bad from all reports I am getting. Just look at the rain radar on BOM to see how big the smoke is. Just hope everyone gets out safely.
A couple of hay sheds have reportedly been burnt, but the houses near them have been saved. So far.....

Some pretty graphic pics there, LMcQ.

Any idea how the fire(s) started?

Apparently the Wasleys piggery is no longer there.

The fire is 1km from the Roseworthy Petrol Station, the owner has has turned everything off and is out fo there, the winds have switched and are now pushing it towards Freeling.

Harrowing stuff mother nature. I hope and pray for everyone in the vicinity.

SA Power Networks have switched off the Power to 18,000 peoperties in the area it is heading. This will make it even more uncomfortable.
